Review: Liked the book but the author is obviously not American
Rating: 4 out of 5

The story was good. I liked the characters. I was annoyed though that about once a chapter or so, a word was used that you would NEVER hear in America. Words like "chuffed". It would probably have read better had it been set in Britain. To me it was the cultural version of an anachronism and destroyed my feeling of immersion in the story. Being British by birth, I understood the words, but an American probably would never have heard many of them. I don't know why authors do this. Is the author British but living in America or did she choose to set it here because the audience is bigger?That part was disappointing.
