Sweet Annie by Cheryl St. John
2.0
I'm torn here...I want to give this a horrible rating but I liked the character Annie...
First off, having a limp because one leg is longer than the other is a cheap ass way of writing a crippled character. Own it and give her something really gimpy; this is fiction, I want DRAMA!
Second, this is yet another cripple-discovers-s/he-is-more-capable-than-previously-thought-once-a-3rd-party-treats-them-like-a-normal-person. I know this seems like it's not a bad thing but I cannot get on my milk carton every time I review a book so just trust me on this.
Annie was good though. She was the only character that seemed human in this book...she needs to find her potential in a better story.
