Status Updates From Small Steps

// You’re angry about 200 hours you need to spend there?!!! AT LEAST YOU DIDN’T KILL ANYONE, YOU UNGRATEFUL FUCKER!!!!!!!!!

// Also, you think HE was rude?!!? You were the one who fucking drove drunk 😵😡😵😡!!

// Seriously, what’s the point of reading through the POV of someone so angry, full of himself, and disgustingly remorseless 😡?!!? To see his redemption and perhaps rehabilitation?!!? Fine, I’ll humor it all for the sake of fiction, but in reality I’d NEVER want to see someone like him, someone who could do something so heartless, be with a lovely protagonist!! I wouldn’t want to see him get his HEA!!!

// So you wanted to flee the scene?!!? What a pathetic piece of shit 😡😡😡😡😡!!!
I didn’t think it’d be possible to have even MORE disdain for drunk drivers, but I definitely do 😡😡😡!!

// Note, though I am not interested to know how Sebastian FEELS or what HE is going through (he deserves the consequence), I DO want to challenge myself and I’m going to continue reading!! Besides, this author took an intriguing path in order to show how devastating drunk driving usually is; I’m hooked by the book so far, and once again I anticipate it’s as good as I anticipate it’ll be!!

// Also, I KNOW reading this will be incredibly difficult for me :-/, given that Sebastian is just about to become a drunk driver 😡!!
I truly feel that people like him need to be tried for attempted murder ... since getting behind a wheel when drunk, when knowing you can potentially kill or maim someone, is one of the absolute worst offenses (and is pretty much attempted murder)!! My G-d; I kind of hate him!!

// This author’s mother tongue is NOT English, at least I’m not convinced it is!! The language is stilted and sounds like really bad translation!! We shall see ... !!

// I’ve been meaning to crack this open for quite a while now, but anyone with thousands of books in their Kindle can attest to how quickly books can get buried (as collections grow)!! Annnnyway, let’s do this ...
I really hope I enjoy this as much as I think I will.

A first time read for this author. Crosses fingers

Read a low-rating spoiler review this morning. How selfish, trying to ruin the story for others.

I read the free percentage available from Smashwords. It was compelling, and I wanted to read more, but the writing is just awkward enough (clunky? jerky? simplistic?) for me to set it aside and investigate another book instead of purchasing this one. If it were a freebie, I'd be all over it.

I am trying to figure out why in the world this book is set in Germany... Are he characters originally from Germany or some other place in Europe?
