Don't Rescue Me, God's Molding Me is mostly about a woman name Savannah who is down and out, but is trying to pick up the pieces in her life. She is a positive character, always trying to be upbeat, and always working to better herself. This story as a whole is very sweet and is very inspiring. But unfortunately, it didn't connect with me.It felt rushed. I felt like an outsider looking in. I didn't learn anything about Savannah other than she's saved, which is wonderful, but what else is there to her? There's a lot of commentary, telling me what happened or happening. I wanted to "live" the life with Savannah and her neighbors on those pages, but unfortunately, Ms. Kinney didn't provide that experience. Give me something more than characters causing superficial arguments and trouble. As a reader, I want to be in the middle. Not looking through a window and only getting glimpses of the life in that apartment building.As for the Kindle formatting, it wasn't that great. Huge spaces between paragraphs. Too much space between lines in paragraphs. Grammar and spelling errors were minor, but one check would get rid of the mistakes.The story overall could have been interesting, if it was expanded more. The author has great potential, and I hope she keeps going in her writing and publishing endeavors.
