Review
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This story has potential. The basic plot is solid and the idea behind the story is good. Unfortunately, in my opinion, it needs a lot of polishing.
My first and biggest issue is with the spelling and grammar. Those issues are numerous and far exceed the amount I would find acceptable in a book of any size. In some cases punctuation is misused (and yes, I notice those things), there was excessive and incorrect use of capital letters, and there were many instances where the author tense jumped her verbs. An example of every single one of these issues can be found in a two sentence segment. 'We finished our Icees and got up to leave. As I'm heading out of the big mall doors, I made it about two steps when I hear "WAIT!"'
Another problem for me is that I felt like I was being told everything instead of shown most things. There were several scenes that I couldn't even picture in my mind because there was very little description, and the descriptions that were present, were rushed and confusing.
The story progressed really quickly and time was passing that I wasn't even aware of. It felt to me like the whole story took place over the course of a couple of weeks, but there were the occasional random time indicators informing me that it had been much longer.
Overall I give this book 2 out of 5 stars because it has potential, but I feel like it needs a lot of work. - Katie
