Review of The Legend of Tillamook's Gold

Family safe... Mostly. Her parents' fighting hits a little close to home for me, as I've heard it before. There is no cursing, no sex, and the only violence is a shovel fight. The older sis randomly gets engaged (and promptly breaks it up). As a community theater actress, the acting still had a ways to go. As a creative writer... There were many plot holes and many more things that made me uncomfortable. Top of the list: Eddie. He STALKS the main girl and takes photos of her without uer knowledge or permission. That's not cute; that's creepy. A major red flag. Jimmy is way too comfortable with his brother's wife, and she with him. Hospitable host gives off different vibes than the vibes he was giving off. The ending was cliche. Either she learned how to deep dive in the last five minutes, or pulled a "maybe the real treasure is my family and weird new boyfriend!" The villains were goofy and really didn't pose as anything more than a minor hindrance to the main girl. Clearly, though, the main girl has little to no brains at all. She goes out ALONE in the middle of a storm, slides down a hole, literally cannot tie a correct knot to save her life, and nearly indirectly killed her dad. The treasure still would have been there when the storm stopped. (yes, really, it was only her opening of the box that caused it to be lost.) To top that off, in the time it would have taken her to free climb a wet cliff and get back to the car, her dad would have been long drowned.
