EILEEN did not work for me.....at all.
EILEEN Dunlap is a 24 year old disturbed young woman. She is unhappy, has atrocious nutrition, personal hygiene and lives like a pig. She has no self-worth, her thoughts for the most part are nasty and morbid and she is trapped in a forlorn life she detests with a passion.......until an 'inane' opportunity to make a change presents itself.
EILEEN has a stagnant, (almost nonexistent) plot that goes nowhere and a repulsive character analysis that seemed to go on forever with an ending that was pretty much a non-event.
Glad this one is over!

Karin wrote: "Well I guess I'll pass on this one!"Lol......I was looking forward to it Karin, but not what I thought it would be. Many readers liked it though.
These books are everywhere. Miserable women making others more miserable. If possible. And a glimmer of "hope" at the end. UGH! Thanks for your help in eliminating yet another nasty and most negative.
Darn it, I got this from the "Read Now" section and don't want to read it!

This was originally on my list, almost bought it but a few reviews like yours convinced me I don't need it. Thank you. We Carols must stick together :).
Ouch. Have this on my list to read! Very mixed reviews.
