Book Review: Pen Pal by J.T. Geissinger

I picked up the book Pen Pal by J.T. Geissinger expecting a little romantic novel  that followed the same story arc that almost every romance novel follows.   The story started normally enough with the main character standing at the gravesite of her husband during the burial.  The sorrow and angst was normal and expected as was the introduction to the male counterpart.  The love story carried on and was going splendidly as it spiraled to the pinnacle of the novel.   And that is where the plot took a left turn.  The twist was totally unexpected.  It was written in such a way that it totally worked and made sense. However, the plot twist left me without the sappy romantic ending that I craved when I picked up a book that I expected to be a romance.
