Gak!

This pointed out a recent "red-flag" for me...first person present tense for the entire novel. I muddled my way through The Time-Traveller's Wife because the story was compelling, but most days, if it's FPPT, I refuse to even purchase it, no matter how compelling the blurb is.

I have lots of other personal red-flags, but this excerpt reminded me how much I hate FPPT.
