Deborah Heal

A different kind of hero

Revisado: 04-07-15

Normally the heroes of novels are super at something—good looks, smarts, sexiness, etc. You wouldn’t think a foolish young woman and her simple brother would qualify to be anyone’s heroes. But in Cupidity they are. The one super trait Tammy Tyree has is a positive outlook on life. She’s a genuine optimist (or as her Uncle E says an ‘optometrist’) whose determination through trials and tribulations amused me. Malapropisms and naive misunderstandings make Cupidity a humorously outlandish tale to be sure, but the author’s details of Tammy’s penny-pinching poverty are so real they touched my heart. I rooted for her and her brother to the very end.

The characters were unlike any I’ve ever known before. The author’s descriptions were great to begin with, and the narrator really brought them to life through her talented and nuanced voices, even managing the challenge of Jar’s unusual speech deficiency.

Cupidity is a sequel, and although I didn’t read the first novel ahead of time, it stood well on its own. I was given a free copy for the purposes of review, but was not pressured in any way to do anything but give an honest opinion.
