You will love my YA novel when (hopefully, God; hopefully) it's published. ::Nods firmly:: And I promise there are no dinosaurs. Not even sexy ones.
Thank you for telling me about that book. It doesn't sound like something I would have chosen, personally. But then again I grew up so far out in the country that we had to drive to the nearest small town, so I've never had that experience. But I've always hated books set later than the Victorian era where the female protagonist's only goal is teh babeez.
(Though of course is the character is written well, and wanting to be a homemaker is presented as a personal choice as opposed to an inevitable result, I can buy it. Where I live at least half the women are or have been stay-at-home-moms, so books catering to them--providing it would--are less incongruous.)
But I really hate plots where we're told how awesome a character is and then never actually see that. And yeah, stalker does not equal the kind of guy you want to make your life with. How could anyone think so?
