Big thanks to Dominique over at Diary of a Reader for her review of The Whole Enchilada.
This is, in fact, my first blog review, and I’m delighted (and encouraged) by it. Dominique is fair and honest, and kind with her words, which is all an author can really ask for.
But what makes this so special is that she understood the unconventional and intentional structure and pacing of the novel, and embraced it as a literary experience, sitting with the parts that were uncomfortable or unclear, trusting that I – the author – had a reason for telling this story in this specific way.
This is my debut novel. It’s not perfect by any stretch of the imagination. But I put immense thought and energy into not only what I wrote but also how I wrote it. Having someone see this and reflect it back to me is one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve had on this journey to date.
Go read her full review and share widely. She is an unpaid reviewer and deserves all the traffic she can get for this labor of love.
