I had a hard time getting into the book in the beginning.  I almost stopped reading it actually...But, I am glad that I stuck with it. I think the characters might be TOO quirky, but I didn't mind that too much. There are some editing issues, but not tons like in some e-books.There is much to think about and ponder in this one, this is not just "mental fluff" - so that's a good thing!I did mind the abruptness of the ending, though. Yeah, I get it that the author wants to make money by selling the other books in the series.I think all the books in a series (any series, I am not just picking on this one!) should also be able to "stand alone" on their own merits. This one did not, in my opinion. It seemed more like the other books might already written and this one just stopped on the page number she felt like having in the 1st installment.Having said all of that, I really think that the author is very talented, yet sometimes she seems to like to jar the reader, more like you'd find in a thriller. It was kinda like she wanted to write a sweet story, but felt compelled to put a sharp edge on it - that is what I meant in saying that it was a little jarring. She is good at writing that way.I truly appreciate this book not having any profanity or vulgar content!
