Although I do appreciate the general concept of Abby Hanlon's Dory and the Real True Friend, have much enjoyed Dory as a character (as a presented person) and truly and majorly both cherish and even treasure her inventiveness and imagination (and especially that she obviously has enough confidence and strength of personality to not only do what her imagination dictates, but to also have no seeming regrets with regard to the same), I also do tend to find both Dory and her new, her in the end real and true best friend Rosabelle more than a trifle overly narrationally overdone (and in particular with regard to how both of them behave and act).īut alongside of my issues with exaggeration and Dory and Annabelle often seemingly deporting themselves way too exaggeratedly, even more of an annoying and frustrating issue for me personally is in fact and indeed Abby Hanlon's featured writing style, in so far that Dory and the Real True Friend often to and for me feels and reads more like a simplified plot outline that an actually finished novel.
