Pretty Little Mistakes: A Do Over Novel- Heather McElhatton
2-stars
“If you strap the mat to your naked body, go to section #36,
If yo don’t strap meat to your
naked body, go to section #37”
150 possible endings make this novel an exciting form of multisequential fiction, however
the content is quite problematic. The main character (reader) has to make
choices which lead to different outcomes, but as I was reading the character
kept making awful choices that I didn;’t get to
choose between. For example she cheated on her
boyfriend and joined a cult of which I had no say but led to her downfall.
Almost all the choices you can make centered around who you are going to date
or sleep with. Most all of the ending were unhappy including abortions and rape
which made this not so fun of a read.
Heather McElhatton has three other
published novels, one of which is another “do-over book”. All of her writing
seems to include floozy characters and negative stereotypes. She isn't afraid
to write a problematic piece of fiction. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heather_McElhatton
