One Lavender Ribbon by Heather Burch
2.0
I reserve the right to go back and up my rating of this book if regular readers of romance can sell me on it, but in all honesty, I was only reading this because it was on Kindle First and I was willfully trying to get out of my comfort zone. Here's what I thought in a vacuum:
The whole letter-discovery thing has been done, and done better than this. Ditto WWII love tales. The story elements and character emotions vacillated between brilliant/touching and contrived/over-the-top. The generational and gender roles were sufficiently traditional that I found myself wondering if the demographic reading this novel would skew toward watchers of Fox News.
And despite this, I finished it, let my heartstrings get played with, and would probably watch the Lifetime movie that seems destined to get made out of this book, provided I was on a date of some kind. So you should probably ignore the insults of this grumpy old man and read it if you're into this sort of things--it's getting great traction on Amazon.
