As my brother likes to say, oy. This had to be self-published because there is no way these pages crossed the desk of an editor. I'm amazed that this author, who seems to lack even a basic understanding of the English language, was able to sit down and write a book (even her Goodreads bio has a mistake in it). The plot actually wasn't bad, but I couldn't get past the horrible writing -- and the cat murder. If I'd had a red pen in my hand while I read this, it would have been out of ink before I was halfway through the book. If this author ever intends to write another book, I beg her to do three things first: For the love of God, take an English class. She is completely baffled by punctuation. She has absolutely no idea how to use commas. Or apostrophes. Or quotation marks. Or question marks. Here's a hint on that last one: use them at the end of a question. Second, learn to spell without the aid of spell-check. That will only tell you if the word you are using is spelled correctly; not if it is the correct word. She used sorted when she meant sordid, overdue when she meant overdo, then when she meant than and vice versa, and somehow spelled twerp "twirp". Also, who says twerp? Here's another hint for her: Geese is not an exclamation. Geese are flying bags of crap. I believe the word she was attempting to use was jeez, or even geez. Either of those would have been better than geese, or gees, which she also used. Again I have to say, oy. Finally, even if she does both those things, please, please, please find an editor. Not her husband or best friend or co-worker, but an actual, professional editor. Even Stephen King has an editor, and she needs one FAR more than he.
