Anne Brooke: fiction writer
Contemporary gay romance and fantasy writer. Also loves flowers and bakes the occasional cake. Sometimes they're edible ...
Shallow chick lit
This is perfectly adequate chick lit but with no noticeable depth and a sadly charmless heroine - which doesn't help. There's nothing really wrong with it, but Angela doesn't have the pizzazz to hold the plotline together and I simply wasn't interested in her or her problems. It's almost as if the author just ticked off the boxes required for a chick lit novel without taking the time to write it. Plus there's so much vomiting and shopping that I became utterly exhausted with it all and longed for a quiet night in front of the telly.
That said, the Hollywood superstar started out being fun though soon became subsumed by cliche. Oh well.
