I realize it kind of kills the story if your heroine can't do anything, but there is a fine balance!Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00333927782181943347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3647764256243880883.post-78193015314455806282016-01-26T21:38:29.045-05:002016-01-26T21:38:29.045-05:00A Curious Beginning sounds like a fun read!

Spunky heroines who do what they want are a lot of fun to read about, but they don't always feel realistic. I just recently read Moonlight Over Paris and I thought the author did a great job putting her heroine at the forefront of social change for her time, so it was just believable that she'd break conventions in the way she did.DoingDeweyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09902496432225294188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3647764256243880883.post-24393153863314704452016-01-26T21:23:47.125-05:002016-01-26T21:23:47.125-05:00I bet it was a great read-aloud!
