Books in twos continues...
Title: The Stylist
Author: Cai Emmons
Thoughts: Another instance in which the cover and the book just don't match. The cover says chick-lit. The style, the story, the writing all say something a little more serious. When I picked it up I wanted chick-lit. When I finished I was glad I'd read it. Cai Emmons has a real knack for language, and several times I stopped in the middle of a passage to reflect on a beautiful sentence or word choice. I picked up her debut in the library yesterday---it has much more of a literary cover. I hope I'll enjoy it just as much.
