Interesting storyline but the book needs some development.
I picked this book up because the storyline was intriguing. The writing style was hard for me to follow and I often found myself reading it the way I felt it should have been written / worded. The author went from short sentences and dialogue to jumping around within a long paragraph that seemed like it was being used to hold a lot of information so she could move to the next part of the story. She used the word pending A LOT in ways that didn’t seem appropriate - as in the main character had an appointment pending rather than scheduled. To me, pending means open or waiting - so that was confusing. Other words were used incorrectly which I mostly got past except when the main character’s sister announced her pregnancy. And the author wrote “She hugs her sister and the family joins the condolences.” ?????
Again, intriguing storyline but the story and characters could use more development.
I bought the book directly from the author and she was a great person to talk to.
