Query: Sophomoric At Best

I picked up this book because I thought a little fluffy fiction would be a nice winter-time diversion and I had never read any Lori Copeland. I did finish the book, but only because I forced myself to do so. It's drawbacks:- I found the writing to be bland and sophomoric, at best. The plot, if you could call it that, was flat and not at all compelling. More than predictable, it was silly.- Character development was non-existent. This book is replete with one-dimensional characters.- No real Christian depth here. It was as though the ending was thought up first, and then a weak story was created to get us to that destination.I suppose some may like this book and this series. I found it to be much like a rice cake. Full of air and tasteless. I much prefer fiction that sweeps me away with deep character study and solid doctrinal truths. Ms. Copeland fails to deliver on both counts. My apologies Lori. I'm sure it's just me, as you have a loyal following.
