Status Updates From New Dawn on Rocky Ridge (Li...

Finally done. This was a roller coaster of a read. Drama upon drama. Rose was so unlikable and such a problem for them. I did not enjoy this one at all. I couldn’t wait for it to be over. I didn’t like anything that happened and she kept making bad decision after bad decision. It wasn’t until the end that she got her head on straight and then didn’t stop being a brat concerned about herself. No. And so draggy.

I do not like the state things are in. Rose has become so unlikable and bratty. She like flipped a switch. Then she aged 2 years without warning and I don’t like the jump. I hope things even out but I hate what’s become of her relationship with Laura and her thoughts and what she cares about. Feels so vain and materialistic. Ready to be done.

The writing is still so different without the author; characters speak differently, how Rose thinks and the writing. The bit of love made it more interesting so I hope that comes back. A very different feel as she gets older. So much changing in the world too.
