Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.

This is the perfect example of someone who is successful in one area believing that that success and skill will translate into others…… and it did not.

Florence was handed the keys to the kingdom here and yet, this book was undoubtedly one of the worst things I’ve ever read. If Florence wasn’t Florence, this manuscript wouldn’t even have made it past the assistant’s desk at the publishing firm let alone onto bookshelves globally.

The plot was unhinged, the characters lacked any sort of depth and substance, the weird Director’s Note device felt shoehorned in a desperate attempt to make the preceding chapter make any sort of sense and the ending was an absolute dumpster fire which reeked of closing deadlines with no real plan or structure in place to bring the story to a close.

I’m sure Florence would say that sentiments like these are exactly what she’s talking about in the overarching message of the book but like, I’m sorry, you had the makings of a book handed to you on a silver platter and you still managed to make it an unbearably frustrating (for all the wrong reasons) read.

Awful awful awful and I wish I could get a refund.
