Wow, this book was really, really painful to read.  I can only imagine that any of the five-star reviews were from friends of the author, because there is nothing about the book that would justify that kind of rating.First, there were the myriad of technical errors such as paragraphs not being indented, misspellings, and grammatical errors. You could find a technical issue on every page, something that wouldn't even pass muster in a high school creative writing class.The next failure of this book was the content.  The constant shifting of perspective from one character to another was jarring and unnecessary.  The plot was a paint-by-numbers job that at best was paper thin, which was still "deeper" than the characters.  None of the characters had any real personality, and the relationships were assumed rather than developed.  Hint, if the two main characters have feelings for each other that neither can explain, it's because the author can't figure out how to actually write the relationship.  The dialogue between the two main characters was flat, their mood swings random, and the romance was forced.  Yet this was still better than the relationship that emerged between two secondary characters that was painfully nonsensical.Frankly, the only thing that prevented this from being a 1-star review was that the book was free, so the only thing I lost was my time.
