Review: A good story that would be great if it were tightened up a bit

Good points: The characters were unique, the story really held my interest, the author did a good job of portraying the lives of 6 different people and really making you care about each one.Less-good points: It definitely needed another pass at editing. There were quite a few sections that dragged that should have been cut, not to mention numerous typos and formatting issues. There were also some timeline issues. I understand when telling a story from 6 different perspectives you might need to go back in time and repeat the same event, but it needs to be more clear that's what's happening. I would think a chapter had picked up where the last one left off, only to find out we were actually back in time a few months. It's unnecessarily confusing.I'm not sure I would recommend this book to other readers, but at the same time there were so many things I enjoyed about it that I hate to be too negative! For sure, if the book was re-edited and the story tightened up a bit, I would recommend it because it would read more quickly and then even if you didn't love it, you wouldn't be out much.
