My Thoughts
I am not, and I doubt I ever will be, a writer, but I still wanted to read this book simply because of the author! That being said I loved it! It was really cool to get a look kinda behind-the-scenes of some of the great moments of Julie's books! I loved how it was written like she was actually in a classroom teaching and some of the comments she made, made me laugh out loud! I also loved all of the excerpts from Julie's books, it gave me a little O'Conner and McClare fix to help tide me over till I succumb and reread her books again!
I can definitely see how this would be a very helpful tool to romance writers out there and even as only a reader I still gained knowledge from it! So I highly recommend this to writers and to Julie's fans!
