I'm quitting. All I can hope is that the kindle copy is a working draft of the story and not the final because it truly sucks. Either way what seemed like a great story has been ruined for me by an unprofessional copy of the book.

I am going to finish this. I am! I am still having lots of issues with it though.

Got a paper copy from the super sweet author since the kindle coy had so many formatting issues so I am giving this one another shot. I retread what I had originally read on my kindle and while I still like the story I am having issues with the writing style but that's just a personal thing.

I am convinced this isn't the final draft of this book. It is the only way to explain why it is so awful. There are blatant inconsistencies (like from one page to the next!), no segways between scenes of POV's. Actually this seems like a first or second draft!

Initial reaction is that this book starts in the middle. No description of anything, just jumps right in. Chase and Maddie have already met, have already had a weird reaction to one another, and are already super interested in the other. Plus the kindle edition is FULL of editors notes. It's really unprofessional that didn't load a final copy to Amazon and instead put up a working draft copy that I just paid for.

Oh wow really? I had the paper copy and while I had some issues with the dialogue I like the story. I wonder what the difference is?

I'm really wondering if the kindle edition is a OLD version of the story. It is full of editors notes (like fix spacing here, typo, capitalization, etc.) You know when it goes from her dreams to reality, sometimes it is missing the "***" so I couldn't tell that she was dreaming or that the dream was over because it was missing the formatting. I think I will take some screen shots of the book on my phone to show people what I meant. Now I am thinking I need to get back in on your book tour and read the paper copy. Amazon has refunded my money and are supposed to be fixing the digital copy but of course can't say how long that will take or notify me when the new copy is up. Even now though they are still selling this crap copy.
WOW yea the paper copy isn't at all like that! Yes I would sign back up for the tour. Like I said some of the dialogue made it feel "olde timey" but I really liked the story.
The author just contacted me to ask about the formatting problems! I hope she can get it fixed so I can reread this book. It is so nice to have an author take a direct interest in the issue because the faceless people at Amazon seemed totally unconcerned.
She is super nice!
