Karen Sandler grew up in L.A. County’s South Bay, fishing for bonito off the Redondo Beach pier, crunching on sand in her tuna sandwiches, and roasting in the sun until she was lobster-red.
By age 9, she knew she wanted to be a writer without having the slightest notion what that involved. She was practical enough to earn a BA in math & physics and an MS in computer science (hence her love of science fiction), but her software engineering career took a sharp U-turn when she quit to write full-time.
She's the author of numerous novels, screenwriter of a few short films, and now knows exactly what a writer does—tell stories that linger in the hearts of her audience.
The summary really had me looking forward to reading this book. Overall, the plot sounded really good. It sounded like a sweet little love story, and it lived up to that. But, all in all I was pretty disappointed. I found the story to be slow and often times very boring.
And Rachael? She was sweet, but she really got on my nerves with her total lack of confidence and completely skewed self image. I understand that distorted self image and lack of confidence can be very real issues, but it completely irked me with her character. I will admit that the story had a bit of a Cinderella feel to it and did give subtle references to the fairy tale and I liked that about it.
