I want to start by saying I respect anyone willing to put in the effort it takes to write a book and don't want to discourage a beginning author.  Some have not been well served by the educational system and would benefit from taking continuing education classes that start with basics of sentence structure followed by some creative writing classes.This has been the first book I have not been able to finish in years and I am a die-hard reader.  The author has ideas but cannot write well enough.  The reader is constantly distracted by sentence structure problems, incorrect usage issues and strangely boring scenes to such a degree that it is hard to stay with the story flow.  So while I would definitely not recommend this book, I think the author could bring an adult's effort to taking classes that would make her feel truly rewarded and would advance her hugely towards her writing goals. Go there and rock it Erica!  Acquire the skills that will take you to the next level and beyond.  Best wishes!
