Emily's Chance

In January I was introduced to the writing of author Sharon Gillenwater and had mixed feelings. Her research is incredible and I love the story, but I felt like the book Jenna's Cowboy ended in a lurch and that messed it up for me. In starting Emily's Chance I discovered that it picks up immediately from where we left off, and in the case that I would have had this book ready to read right away might have made a difference on my feelings then as I am happy to find out more about the lives of these characters that I have come to care about and be worried for in their circumstances with the aftermath of the town fire.

In this book we continue with incredible characters that are real to life and easy to love, but again we have abrupt changes and endings that kinda startle me in my reading. I think that this author and series have so much potential, but the changes from one “scene” to another were just rapid. With that said, the good elements of the story definitely outweigh the bad and I look forward to reading Megan's Hero is 2011.
