Shocking critique--just what i needed

Last night, I listened to an hour-long explanation of the failings of my most recent writing. I keep moving between genres as I look for the best fit. This time, it was my attempt at 'chick-lit'. I thought it was light and happy with the usual romantic entanglements and a 'happily ever after' finish. Unfortunately, this was not what my new beta-reader told me. She hilighted a fair number of issues I didn't even realise were significant.

Apparently, there is a difference between women's and men's outlook on life. Who would have thought?

I wrote my draft in February and have let it sit in my drawer until now. I will let it sit in my drawer for another couple of months before I attempt to deal with all the points. The good news is that if I manage to address the points raised, my book will be a LOT better.

Here's to finding great beta-readers!
