This book is a good example of a story idea with potential that is ruined by poor grammar, poor spelling and a lack of good proofreading. Rather than a series, this could have easily been shortened and possibly all the future books combined into one to make a really good book. The story drags in the middle, going on and on about how poorly Janel was treated in high school.I started marking errors after it became apparently that there were several. For example the word "taunt" was used when it should have been "taut" (Location 186). Words were missing where it said "piece her" it should have read "piece OF her"(Location 854). The word "so" is written where it obviously should have been "do". (Location 1072) Once again the word "taunt" is incorrectly used at location 1172. "Do, do what it was she was planning to do, that's what!" This sentence is a sampling of a section in the book where she repeats words within the sentence. I'm not sure if the character is supposed to be stuttering or what. One time wouldn't be so bad, but this is done several times within a few pages and just gets plain annoying. (Location 1541).Miss Taylor has a great imagination, but would do well to take a basic English grammar and punctuation course and hire a good proofreader rather than relying on spellchecker. I doubt I will bother reading the rest of this series.
