Talli, I think the cover sends too many mixed signals. The pink is too pink, too cute, and combined with the stars too YA-ish. Your name should be without the clutter and anchor the bottom. The tag line should have something about a tangled web (that appeals to chicks more)and not the too real that implies a dark side, totally opposite from the pink and stars. What about a guy and a gal standing back to back, arms crossed, with a river running between them or some such?? (As I recall, stars were/are popular with young teenagers a few years ago...a chick has a bit more disposable income, splurges on a Louis Vuitton, takes a cruise, sips wine and wants to live the dream, sometimes getting caught up in a dream turned romantic nightmare.) I'm hoping you don't shoot the messanger, yipes!Kittie Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07756250649095903317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3869854312562524230.post-30612517412895059742010-05-15T16:08:14.395+01:002010-05-15T16:08:14.395+01:00Wow!
