I'm discovering that I definitely like a plucky heroine. Give me Kinsey Milhone, Cree Black, Anna Pigeon, Stephanie Plumb, even the sometimes-anxious Kate Scarpetta. They are strong women and I enjoy their adventures. Plain Jane had a lot going for it. It's a combination mystery, tragicomedy, love story, ghost story, dog story and more. But I found the whiny, insecure heroine to be annoying. I felt the same way about Eat, Pray, Love - so many good elements but if our heroine bursts into tears one more time it becomes tough to fight the impulse to gag. Jane Lewis is, astonishingly, a psychiatrist. I hope her true love, also a shrink, does give her a good dose of the therapy she so clearly needs. I think my next couple of books will be nonfiction - I need something solid to clear my head after this one!
Clever. Clever indeed.
