incredible writing.
I enjoyed most of the story however the grammar and spelling mistakes were too distracting + highly doubt anyone ever proof this book. What utter unprofessionalism. DISAPPOINTING to say the least.

Proof reader needed
I really enjoyed this book and read it in a day. The only complaint I have is all the spelling errors. There must be at least 20 typos, wrong words used and missing words.

compelling
It’s a complicated read, with a lot of explanations, medical terms and an underlying relationship doomed from the start, but it is also very readable. As you get into the book you really want a good outcome for the main character.
I was thoroughly absorbed and couldn’t put it down.

A very deep and revealing story.
Lots of twists as a man lives a very self-deprecating life. There's lots of drama as he faces a very insecure future. Lots of profanity and sexual content. The plot is very good and reveals some interesting insights of mental issues.

Good story line
The story line was good but there was a lot of spelling and grammar mistakes and at times more towards the end the sentences and paragraphs seemed to run together where it was a bit confusing.

Definitely needed better proofreading! So many mistakes that it really took away something for me. And using the word 'sat' so often and in such an odd way.
Other than those glaring errors, the storyline had promise. But not enough to make this book a worthwhile read.

Non existent proofreading!
There were so many spelling and grammatical errors throughout it was next to impossible to read. He even spelled the main character's name wrong a couple of times.

The story is good but this book has clearly never been reviewed by an editor. All of the grammar errors, spelling errors, and sometimes missing or randomly added words, really deter you from the actual story. I understand a couple errors, here and there, but there's errors on close to every single page.

Interesting
This seems like a book that would interest someone with a Psychology bent. It’s not a bad read but oh how I wished that someone had proofread it! The grammatical errors were abundant and frustrating.

A page turner.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It has a great plot with just the right amounts of twists and turns. If not for the many grammatical errors, I would have given it 5 stars. It kept me engaged and interested from beginning to end.

Strange book
Not sure what to say about this. It was very slow and quite boring until the court case started.
The only person who drew any sympathy was the father.
Not my kind of book.

Wow what a ride. There is a lot of wild sex. Kieran has done something similar when he was a kid. He knows he didn't kill Serena but he doesn't know who did.

Thought provoking
another. Story revolving around the flalse truth, which is social media. , Kerion is no angel. but who was Serena Brown? will we ever know?

I like the story and would have given it more stars if it weren’t for the grammar and spelling errors that kept tripping me up

A pretty good story
I liked the story ok, but it is full of misspellings and wrong use of words. Probably the worst proofreading job I've seen.

So many typos and poor grammar that it is distracting.

The story was engaging and told well. But really needed a proper edit. So many misspelt and misused words were a frustrating distraction. Was this book self published?

The spelling and grammar was so bad and distracting, that I couldn't even finish this book.

The story is very, very average.
The spelling and grammar mistakes made this an incredibly irritating read.
Not sure how this made it through to publishing.

Editing
It was an interesting story but it needs some serious editing. I found myself groaning over some of the mistakes and outright laughing at others.

Story was ok. However, it was the worst editing job I’ve ever read! There were editing errors on every kindle page. Very annoying!
October 31, 2023
I feel like this is a very rough first draft. The errors are so frequent and disruptive as to make this almost unreadable.

It would have been a very enjoyable and engaging read if not for the spelling errors. If it was proof read, incredibly poor editing.. It spoils what could have been a griping read..
