REALLY! <br />Also, Rift Healer was just voted FINALIST status in the READERS' FAVORITE INTERNATIONAL AWARD In the YA Fantasy Category.

And, to give Haynes credit, there are extenuating circumstances (Micah can see the future, so he KNOWS they're going to be together). Overall, I loved the story still!Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addictionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637114079800138680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2251112651612137737.post-59394306398634713052013-06-27T21:41:03.272-05:002013-06-27T21:41:03.272-05:00Yes, You're totally right - I did have to ackn...Yes, You're totally right - I did have to acknowledge that I probably have a different perspective on this than a 14-year-old girl who was reading it would. I'm sure that she would think it was romantic! Since they're more your target audience than the moms are, it's probably just fine! I think that the book appeals to all ages, though. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series!

But keep in mind, most of the action takes place only weeks from her 15th birthday and much of the feelings/future planning, etc. were in Haley's head. I remember planning my wedding to a fifth grade classmate whose name I know longer remember. I think lots of girls do this. Micah is a different story--he sees his future. He's has had far more experience and he KNOWS things others don't. Thanks for the nice review--I really appreciate it and I'm thrilled you liked Rift Healer.

Yes, maybe weird by our standards, but if it is in the context of this type of fantasy story, I think it could be okay.
