The only thing I can give this author credit for is the idea. The rest of it just made me want to laugh! Everything was so horrifyingly predictable – at first I wondered if it was supposed to be a satire on the quintessential “happy ending” novel of the time, but its countless sex scenes forced me to scrap that idea. Not to mention the endless (and I mean endless) coincidences and silly actions by silly characters that I just can’t be forced to believe.

And honestly, I just could not bring myself to like the protagonist. Her “modern” outlook on life seems, to put it plainly, like that of a modern hooker. She does stupid things and never learns from them – insisting that she won’t be “put down” by an era wherein it’s merely common sense not to do certain things.

All in all, the author had a good idea, but her writing was too silly to make it worth reading. At least it gave me a good laugh.
