Nine Women, One Dress
by Jane L. Rosen
The story idea ended up being far more interesting than I first thought it would be; I'd wanted to read something a bit lighter and thought this might be something in the vein of Sisterhood of the Traveling pants, but for 20-somethings. However, the writing in this book was abominable. Every character spoke in the exact same way. Every main character had a happy end to their story arc. Sentences were rarely more then seven or eight words the entire novel -- this was so irritating my eyeballs actually started to hurt. It reminded me of the fledgling writing efforts of a first-year writing student. Was this self-published? (I don't care enough to look.) Where was the editor in this to at least talk to the author about how sentences work?
