I was not expecting a book of this length for $2.99, so the value is great. Some readers may not like the format, and it takes a bit to catch onto, but once you do, it's much better.The story, without giving anything away, revolves around "3 friends" who had rough childhoods. When "1 of them" is diagnosed with cancer, the sit for 3 days trying to "heal her mind" so her body can heal more easily.I was a bit distracted by the typo's. Although they were minor, there were a lot. Many sentences with small words missing; several instances with the wrong word used ("dire circumstances" written as "dyer," "blind-sided" is "blind-sighted," for example). And a few instances where, when writing in the 1st person, she slips for a sentence or 2 into the 3rd. These could have been intentional, but I don't think so.I started to catch on to what was really going on very close to when the author decided to reveal it, so she did a great job keeping the secret. But now that I know, I want to re-read the beginning.I would have given 5 stars if it weren't for the errors...it really IS that good.
