![]() Speaking of toughness, The Bodyguard got me thinking about what it means to be a tough woman, like these fine random examples from royalty free photos (pictured above) I found on the Internet! Mostly he has to look good and flex that muscle in his jaw. ![]() ![]() I hope the movie version adds more depth of character to Hannah. Two of Center's books have already been made into movies, so it’s a real possibility. You know what got me over the finish line? My brain did a little mental gymnastics, and voilá-when I pictured it on my TV as light, zany, totally unbelievable romcom MOVIE, it was way easier to buy in. But the premise and pacing of The Bodyguard had me in their fuzzy little mits so kept at it with this one. However, I did like this one more than Things You Save in a Fire, clearly, as I couldn’t make it to the end of TYSIAF. To me it reads as 2-D, with characters more fixated on physical things or lists, rather than things felt or experienced. ![]() But, it’s popular with readers, as this novel got more than seven thousand votes for Best Romance 2022 on Goodreads. Now, I’ve only started one other book by Katherine Center, so I’m no expert, but Center seems to do some of the most scant, superficial characterization out there. ![]()
