Review: I have a LOVE/HATE relationship with this book...

I am so confused. I LOVED this story. HATED the editing!I was surprised at how much I loved Blythe & Krit. This type of relationship is usually so cliche in books but I never felt that way with them. The friendship and slow buildup were just... Great. I loved how it developed. One of my favorite Abbi Glines books to date (and I've read almost every one of them).I was so disappointed with the editing in this book. Which is atypical for me when it comes to an Abbi Glines book. The errors were distracting at times and took away from the story. I had to go back and re-read certain parts. It disrupted the overall flow of the story (which is why it isn't a 5 star read for me). Her earlier books (which I believe were before she was with a publisher) had far fewer errors and cost less. And don't get me wrong, I will pay any amount for an author I love and she is one of them- but I also expect for the text to be clean and tight. I can easily overlook a few errors here and there if they are insignificant, and I really don't consider myself to be bothered by it as much as others- but this time it bothered me because it took away from my experience of reading a story that I really liked. I almost wondered if an earlier unedited addition had been uploaded by accident.I don't know everything that a publisher is responsible for but I feel like this is something that would fall under their responsibilities. I don't mention this to be spiteful or hateful; but truly to be helpful as someone who is a longtime fan. I hope this isn't a trend moving forward with her upcoming books, I love them too much to stop reading them but fear continued poor editing may overshadow her talent.
