I received an advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review, well, this review is as honest as it gets without flaming Chanse Lowell and her book Sleeves. By the way, this review is my opinion based on my tastes and experience. Some might and might not agree with what I am about to write.I really had higher expectations of this book. While the plot was alright, there were things that were not. In a nutshell:-The first few pages did not 'hook' me much at all, due to the writing, which was pretty generic.-The characters are not well rounded, their personalities are not 3D, instead they seemed flat, particularly the main heroine.-There are contradictions throughout, especially in the characters' personalities.-The flow was not good, in fact, it was not sequenced very well. There were lines, phrases, dialogue, and scenes that confused me because they didn't belong where they were put.-There was too much repetition for my tastes.-There were also some grammatical errors.Things I liked and/or tolerated:-The summary-The plotIn short, this book needs some TLC.
