A review by cheermio
Temptations of a Wallflower by Eva Leigh
2.0
I liked the feminist sensibility expressed in her writing about sex for the edification of women to know they could like it and not feel ashamed. I liked the self confidence it gave her to write and know that what she was writing mattered and consequently made her matter in turn.
I didn't like a lot of the rest of it. the dialogue. the dreary funk of her giving up writing for a measly 15 pages before choosing it again. like, really? this is the central conflict of the story? and it is over in less than 30 pages? the sudden romance syndrome that over took them upon meeting. the way the writing so often TOLD us that they were communing on a deep and intimate level but didn't always show that to us. it did once where we learned she hated coconut and he loved satin. that was nice. but brief.
I didn't love the 2nd in this series or this one and I'll prob never read the 1st one.
