Comment, if you wish!
I can count the number of books that I have started and not finished on the fingers of one hand. This book is joining that elite group. Sefton writes like an elementary student who has just learned about adjectives. Everything is described in mind numbing detail whether or not it is pertinent to the story line (which by the way is sketchy to say the least). First the group of friends “laugh softly”, and the next thing you know laughter “ripples around the table”. What are they laughing at? Your guess is as good as mine. The main character “retrieved the cheese and sausage pizza from the green and black granite counter.” Yikes! Lucky for me I checked out four books this week!
