I have read "Mr. Right & Other Mongrels" by this author and going by that book...she's very talented. I really enjoyed it. This one on the other hand was a train-wreck from start to finish. The storyline was good. The execution...not so much. It was almost like the author sent a rough draft to a class of kindergartners to edit. There were so many errors that it really took away from what could have been a good book. I have read many books that have had errors, but this one was far and away the worst. Not only was the punctuation horrible, there were words dropped into sentences that had no purpose other than to make you reread the sentence 2 or 3 times to understand what was supposed to be there and what was not. It was like reading a puzzle book. Also, keeping track of names seemed to be a huge problem. Lenny became Leon (lenny was one of her blind dates, Leon was the gay cafe owner) Shannon' s fiancee was Nate, then James, then back to Nate. That's only two samples...there were more. As for the ending, was it meant to be so abruptly cut off? Will there be a sequel? I didn't feel like the whole story was there. I would like to read more from this author, but unless a new editor is brought in, I would have to pass. A book should be enjoyed, not  giving its readers headaches!
