I was really looking forward to reading this book.  I liked the premise...a female roadie.  Sounded interesting.  And perhaps the story is, but this book is in no way ready for publication.  The sentences sometimes start way over in the middle of the kindle.  Did the author even look at the preview how it looked?  The book is full of typos, such as words spelled wrong, the wrong words (for instance if instead of it, etc) and words missing in a sentence.I really wanted to notify the author directly rather than put this in a review, but I could not find an email for her on the internet.  That is too bad, because if she gets an editor this could be a good story.  I know how the reputation for indie authors has been hurt by poorly edited, poorly proofread, and poorly formatted books.  There are some indies who do a good job in these areas and their reputation is hurt when other people publish a book without making sure it is truly ready.  I don't care if a book is .99 or $20 it still should be professional.  A couple of errors I can forgive (it happens all the time with major publishers, too,not just indies), but it was very obvious that a sloppy job was done here.  I am very disappointed that someone would release a book in this condition.I hesitated for over a week about putting this up, as I hate giving indies 1 star ratings.  However, the author is not doing herself any favors by having this book out in this condition, so I decided to publish this review.  I hope she does correct the books many errors.  If so, she may have a great story.  I don't know, I was so distracted that I could not read it.  It got deleted.  Had I paid even .99 I would have asked for a refund.
