Doctor in Petticoats by Mary Connealy
1.0
Excuse me while I go GOUGE MY EYEBALLS OUT.
Let's hear it for the logic of this book:
* Doctor * I have PTSD and severe emotional trauma.
* Beth * I want to be a doctor! Also, this man is so annoying!
* Random people * Help us doctor!
* Doctor * No can do without Beth.
* Beth's parents * We've both got a big day tomorrow - can't chaperone. Sorry, no Beth.
* Random Pastor * Why don't we just get the two of you hitched, then no chaperone issue!
* Doctor * Great plan.
* Beth * Why not?
What could go wrong.
This book tries to handle mental issues but just results in some seriously creepy and forced romance that made me want to gag. Severe emotional trauma does not go away, even momentarily, because a hot girl looks you in the eye. And even if it did, don't go dragging Jesus into this.
Also, side-plot about sister and her lying, abusive husband left me pissed off and not at all inclined to find the sequel. Gosh, imagine putting yourself through another book like this. No can do.
Why was this book on my to-read list in the first place?
