Therapy! Therapy! Go find it!

I may have finally found a Mary Jo Putney book I like - I am certainly enjoying The Spiral Path, mainly because despite their issues, about which more below, both Kenzie and Raine (names I am NOT fond of btw), are considerate, hard-working and love each other. I prefer stories of people working through relationships to those of falling in love, so that helps.

This said, I peeked ahead just to see WTF hero's trauma is and ummmm...ummmmmm...how is he even a functioning human being? I mean, if I am going "oh, you got adopted by a pedophile! That's a huge improvement in your life!" and not being sarcastic, that is not good. I think we have a winner for worst backstory in a contemporary romance novel (because nothing is going to beat the backstory in Acheron for the worst backstory ever). If there ever was a character who needed major therapy, that would be it!

Also, if I were the heroine, I'd be all "ummmm, here is your prozac prescription, see you never" because I think dealing with that mess would take more optimism than I possess. I kid, I kid. I ship them super madly.

And I cannot stop reading - this is pretty much h/c heaven. Mmmm. Maybe I need therapy myself.

Just as well, as subs for IMY are not out yet.
