The Essential Charlotte

Rating:
Summary: a chore to read
Review: this is the first book i've felt compelled to review and, obviously, it's not because i loved it. i read "the perfect elizabeth" and thought it was only slightly entertaining. after reading the reviews for "the essential charlotte", i decided to give libby schmais another chance. i really wish i hadn't. the story was soooo boring and redundant, the characters were underdeveloped. i can't let myself leave a book unfinished so i practically forced myself to read it, which wasted a painful three days of my summer (the point is, if it weren't so bland, i could have finished it in a few hours). if you're going to buy this book, don't expect entertainment or originality. if you want any stimulation, you're better off staring at the pretty cover for a few hours.
