I'm trying to catch up a little by posting two story analyses this week. :)
by April Knight from the January 2, 2011 issue
Tagline: Rebecca was certain that her dreams of moonlit romance would never come true...
In A Nutshell: Rebecca has done everything she could to make herself attractive and available, but has had no luck finding a man. One bad day, she gets a black eye from a wayward cupboard door and has a root canal that has her cheek looking like she just lost a prize fight. But at the grocery store, a thoughtful man strikes up a conversation and even buys her soup to cheer her up.
Observations: This story, like so many
Woman's World romance tales, give the reader hope that something like this could actually happen to them. A woman meets a man in a grocery store. And he's a thoughtful man at that! This is the type of "fantasy" that
Woman's World readers and editors like. I'm sure many of them like to imagine being swept off their feet by a millionaire ex-SEAL with a tender side, too, but the type of guys in
Woman's World stories are not bigger than life. They
are life, at least, more believably real life.
