There are so many plot turns and unexpected events in it that it always leaves the reader guessing.
So, does the fact that it sounds lifetime movie-ish a good thing or a bad thing???  Again, I appreciate your support, and look forward to continuing our conversation on the novel.

Oh, it is a good thing. I think it will do exactly what commercial fiction is supposed to do: keep the audience wondering what's going to happen next.
I'm just suggesting that you add some elements that usually aren't found in commercial fiction (literary gems, per se) so your novel will be memorable and easily distinguishable from other novels.
However, I could be wrong; as a writer of more traditional "literature," I've always been taught that commercial fiction is garbage, and while I completely disagree with that school of thought, I might still be somewhat biased.
