ellemnope 's review for:

The Undiscovered Goddess by Michelle Colston
3.0

(Disclaimer: I received this book as a copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. My reviews are always honest and my own opinion...I never lie about books.)

The writing in this book is good and the main character is good, but the approach just turned out not to be as much my thing. I really liked Holly. She talks a lot like me. She's full of sarcasm and sardonic wit. She's sassy. The writing is very descriptive and easily puts a good, solid imagery in your head. It was the use of the workbook that threw me. It's like a novel mixed with a self help book. I just didn't get what I was expecting. I was expecting a light-hearted, quippy fiction novel with a bouncy plot. What I got was a diary...and a bit more "namaste" than I had planned on. I think this author has some great talent and I hope to see more from her. This just wasn't my particular style. I think there was a lot there that had potential, it just wasn't used.
