The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated My Counterfeit Self in Books

Oct 5, 2020

What does poetry have to do with social activism? A whole lot, actually, as you'll find out in Jane Davis's novel "My Counterfeit Self" and through my #bookreview of this historical, contemporary, women's literary fiction novel on my blog now. (I think this has just become my favorite of her books, as it just edged out "Smash All the Windows" by a whisker!)<br/>https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2019/05/11/a-poetically-explosive-story/<br/>;

So if you start reading it and it initially disappoints, keep going, because it certainly picks up nicely.

"I found this to be a great story that has plenty of hooks for the next book. It doesn't go the way you imagine and that is perfectly fine by me. I love fantasy and being surprised raises it to a whole new level for me."
