jackiehorne 's review for:

Rose Harbor in Bloom by Debbie Macomber
2.0

No one seems to have told Macomber that showing, not telling, has become the standard way to craft a novel, even a romance novel. I've rarely read a more flatly narrated book. A novel for readers who want to do absolutely no work, who want a story to tell them everything they should think and feel.

Not surprised to find that the book is being turned into a Hallmark tv series -- flat characters and easy feel-good plotlines without much nuance or complexity are the hallmark of Hallmark, no?
