An Offer You Can't Refuse by Jill Mansell

Have you ever been so conflicted about a book that you just, honest to goodness, had no idea what to say about it? It's never happened to me before, but here I am, experiencing it. Since I'm a little stuck on my feelings with this book, I'm gunna try really hard to figure out a way I can write a proper blog about this because HEY! this is what I'm here to do. Give you fine folks a word or two about a book!

So here I go. . .

As I'm trying to express my jumbled up emotions, I think I have come to one conclusion about how I feel. The main problem about this book was a lack of interaction between the main character, Lola, and her dearly lost beloved, Dougie. It wasn't that I didn't love them bo. . .wait a minute, I didn't have enough TIME to measure out my love anyways! Not only did their relationship seem a bit lacking, shall I say, but there were like 800 (exaggerating a tad) other stories going on at the same time. It isn't that I don't looove when authors do that--I find it gives great depth to a story--but when it appears that the main character's relationship isn't as well developed as it should be at the end, well then, I have some issues!

On a happier note, I did love Lola very dearly. She was great AND she worked at a bookstore (my secret dream!) so there was much to love there.

But my intial thoughts still hold. I wanna, REALLY WANNA, read another Jill Mansell and give her another good college try. . . but I'm nervous.
