I just read AMAZING GRACE by Megan Shull. I really liked it a lot. The woman can do setting. And the plot was fun and believable, and even glam at times. I guess that’s why KIRKUS said “A chick-lit grand slam.”
Except I wouldn’t have ever classified it as chick-lit. No offense to CL, we all know I like it. Some of it I love. But CL seems to have some basic elements that keep it humorous and light. This book wasn’t dark by any means, but it was more real than you’d expect CL to be. I guess what I’m saying is the element of fantasy, or the glam element that most of us frankly just aren’t going to achieve wasn’t really there, and yet it was…
Hmmm. In the end, it doesn’t really matter if it is CL or not, but I’m curious if any of my hoards of blog readers have read it? What do you think?
I agree it was not much of of a chick-lit but it was awesome. I loved it was bery real and not so fantasy as most chick-lits are. its was very well written. Chick-lit could mean that it was intended to read as a girly fantasy not for boys to read. that much is true boys would not like it. i loved how the book follows her journey to a “regular” life that is not much like my “regular” life because she went from one radical (famous and rich) to the other end (regular) i mean no warm water and cabbins thats like parellel universes.
!great read!
