Review: Smirked me out by the first quarter of the book. Too bad.
Rating: 2 out of 5

I have only read the first quarter of this novel and I have a rule that I usually follow. Do not review a book that isn't finished. I am making an exception with this book. The usage of the word 'smirk' is so overdone and inaccurate to the situations that I wonder if the author doesn't know what the word actually means, or she didn't know how to convey the appropriate feelings of her characters. It could very well be both. I would have enjoyed the first quarter of this book  had it not been peppered with smirks...two on one page a couple of times. I would be thrilled if the author would have this book edited and promised to never use the word smirk ever again.I don't like to give poor reviews but there are times when I just feel it only fair to other readers and the author. The problem with this book is very fixable and there is most likely a very good novel lurking behind all those 'smirks'.
