Review: I enjoyed the book, but the errors took away from it

This was a good story, although it was unfinished.Shanae starts out the book in a relationship with Jarrell, but it doesn't look like he's the man for her. From her perspective. From his perspective, she's the love of his life. Look out!Troy seems to be an upstanding guy who would be great for Shanae. Is he real?Peaches is one of Shanae's good friends, but she has no morals. None. Why do we keep surrounding ourselves with people who bring us down. This is definitely an unequally yoked friendship.Kim we don't hear much about, but she's another of Shanae's friends.Trina and her man Brent come to visit Shanae and they their visit lasts a month. Shanae and her family have a good relationship, but Trina isn't feeling Shanae's friend.The story line was great! But...This book wasn't edited for grammar and run-on sentences. Your and you're were mixed up often. Sentences were incomplete or missing commas. And there was a section of the book where they went to a place called Rafael's. Right after that is a paragraph which looks like a sentence - or several - are missing because Shanae's date is telling her about the restaurant and in the same sentence they're actually AT the restaurant and she's describing what she sees, so something got cut out when this was converted to an ebook.Also, there's a scene at the end of the book in which Trina is on her way to pick up her cousin. But that party doesn't ring true. How can she be on her way to pick up her cousin when her cousin has been "unavailable" (trying not to give a spoiler) for 2 weeks? It's not logical that you'd pick her up in that type of event.And like the other said, the rest of the story is missing. Since they've already described exactly what's missing from the book I won't repeat it, but it appears that a part two is in order. At the same time, it just seems like the author simply forgot to tie up those loose ends.If the author had the book professional edited, fixed the error I described at the restaurant, tied up the loose ends, and made the ending more realistic (and this wasn't an artistic license issue), this book would be worth 5 stars. This is an author I look forward to following for future reads.
