A BLOG FOR MOMMIES AND ANYONE ELSE WITH LIMITED TIME ON THEIR HANDS LOOKING TO READ AN EXCELLENT ARRAY OF NOVELS, WITHOUT HAVING TO SIFT THROUGH THOUSANDS OF TITLES.
๐ถ๐ถ: Distant Shores, by Kristin Hannah
Is this really a book by Kristin Hannah, one of my favorite authors of all time? I am just baffled. The novel was frustrating, the characters underdeveloped and oh so clichรฉd, and the storyline wholly predictable and elementary at best.
I know, super harsh, right? Honestly, if it had been her debut novel, or even one of her earliest novels, I could understand, but she had begun writing novels 11 years prior to this one. Clearly, it took a long time to hone her craft.
I will admit, one of my least favorite topics in a novel is infidelity, and my second least favorite is ingratitude. So, I'm certain that had a lot to do with my assessment of this novel, as it was laden with both. But honestly, there were few redemptive elements to this story, even aside from those personal hot-button topics.
So if, like me, Kristin Hannah is an auto-buy author for you, I'd definitely recommend you skip this one!
