With that said, here's what makes a good story for me:<br /><br />1) Characters that I can relate to and in turn love because of their personality and situation.<br /><br />2) A well written story that is exciting, not overly detailed, and reels me in immediately, making it difficult to put down. As the author of this blog will tell you, I'm not the best at "seeing things coming" so I like to be surprised when I read and that normally happens. :)<br /><br />3) A happy ending but not without struggle along the way. Even though I read to escape real life, I appreciate what characters go through to reach their happy ending and balance is always a good thing, right?<br /><br />How's that for a comment? :)Trinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17471097156463892827noreply@blogger.com
