CHARLIE: CHARLIE by L Sommers

CHARLIE: CHARLIE by L Sommers


This is a very different type of story format, and I applaud L Sommers for writhing outside the box.  Two different first person POV’s , but both named Charlie, male: female.   Two people who have such an attraction for each other, that it changes their lives.  And there’s definitely the steamy, forbidden sex.  This is a fun, light, fanciful tale of finding your soul mate.
L Sommers also broke the box by writing in the active voice (present tense), instead of the passive (past tense).  Most writers use passive for everything.  Unfortunately, the passive voice comes out when we write.  It’s just a natural occurrence.  I saw too many past tense words being used with present tense and vice-a-versa.  I also thought the writing didn’t flow very well and was pretty stilted. 
All in all, this was an enjoyable read and a nice way to spend some time so I give it 3 feathers.
