Thank you, Amazon, for the free read.  From the storyline and its telling, readers should recognize that this author is young and somewhat inexperienced.  She has the time to hone her craft.  I hope she uses that time wisely and doesn't spend it turning out pre-fab books or the same theme, different characters sinkhole books.Her mechanics were half and half.  She needs an editor.  Using 'there' instead of 'their', 'of' instead of 'off' are costly mistakes.  The plot was fine.  Had she developed the action into fuller and more feasible accounts, the plot would have been great.  Michael was the best character.  He was literally and figuratively uncomfortable in his clothes.  Through the course of action, he reverted to his figuratively comfortable clothes.  THE BEFORE AND AFTER DIFFERENCE IN THE MAN WAS  GREAT WRITING!  I applaud her punctuation skill, especially in the dialogues.I enjoyed reading this book!  It was fast and easy.  Coming off a read that was complicated and long, I could not have found a better book.  All writers should be aware that simply adding more words does not make a better book.  I certainly do not want to give that impression to this young author.  Too much description (I really do not care to read five pages describing how the birds sounded when they sang.), too many words, too many subplots going nowhere, and all the other 'too manies` can be deadly to a book.Thank you, Ms. Sharma, for a good read.
