The Heroines by Eileen Favorite

I was disappointed with The Heroines. When I picked up the book, I thought it sounded like a great story line - a young girl living at her family's B&B where famous Heroines from novels dropped in - Scarlett O'Hara, Madame Bovary, etc. Honestly, though, I didn't feel like it delivered.
There is no real explanation of why or how the heroines arrive. There is no rhyme or reason to their visits. The book is more about thirteen-year-old Penny's teenage issues with her mother,and her discovery that her father is not who she has been led to believe.
Not one I'd recommend...I'm relisting it on Paperbackswap.com tonight.

Next up: Summer Island by Kristin Hannah.
