Reactions and Reviews
From reviews by Bethany on PlaceToHide.net:[1][2]
Even after the last chapter, I wasn’t sure how I felt about Miss Dodger Blue’s execution. There was something that I liked about it, but I can’t quite put my finger on what. Was it the handful of humorous scenes, such as Taylor wearing a hot pink bra? Was it the surprising emotional depth of one or two scenes? I don’t know. I’m not on the edge of my seat for the next story, but I’m also not slamming my laptop shut and wishing I’d never read the first.
I understand that it’s difficult to end a story you’ve fallen out of love with over the course of a few years. I don’t mean to belittle the struggle that Miss Dodger Blue must have gone through. I just feel that she could have done a much better job providing a satisfying ending, since she obviously did at least try to provide some ending.
Awards
