Comadrin's manga / #Dopey ML(3)

I liked it. She was a very interesting person and I appreciated how she felt about her in-laws. One thing that does bug me though is the concept that a bereaved person has to “get over” their lost loved one. A friend of mine was shot down in combat some years back, at the same time his wife was pregnant with their third child. She remarried a really decent guy about 6 years later. They’ve had a happy life ever since and he always treated her kids as his own. At the same time, none of them ever wanted to “get over” her loving her first husband. There are pictures of him and of them together in the house and her present husband has said that he really wished that he could have met the first one. Point being: you don’t have to give up your love for someone who has passed on. That is just sad. On a different note: I really loved the author’s afterward, “Perla of Green Gables.” Classic!

I liked the story a lot, and the FL and the ML's mother rocked. The ML, however, gave me a pain. He wasn't horrible, but he sure was a dweeb.

Odd story. Premise was cute, but execution was spotty. Super macho stud muffin male was totally scared of his Mommy, and bowled out by her telling him what he was going to do and when he was going to do it. I kept expecting her to make him go out and cut a willow switch for her to spank him with. Also, he really loves his wife and wants to stay with her, but keeps showing up with his sister's hot friend. Not too bright.
