I know other people have liked the book for exactly the same reasons she disliked it. I didn't *think* she was being snarky, but I've got tonsillitis and I'm not very with it this morning.
Mrs Giggles is a well-known romance reviewer, for values of "well-known" that include "notorious". She's not a professional reviewer, but a private individual who posts her opinions of what she's been reading. Rather like I've been doing, only she's been at it a lot longer and gives very detailed reviews. And if she doesn't like something, she says so. Loudly. :-)
Her reviews are subjective, but she's very blunt about the fact that they are about her personal reaction to a book, and she understands the difference between an objective flaw in the book and a "not my taste" issue. So someone reading that review who'd *like* a gentle, low-conflict romance can see that even if Mrs Giggles didn't like it, they might.
I knew when I offered her a review copy that I could get roasted. 68 is actually not too bad from her.
