The short blurb on the site about the book didn't convey enough of the premise, IMO.  I would have liked to have been warned that addiction was a major presence in the book and decided up front if I was interested.  I stayed with the book to see if things got better but, as happens with addiction, they didn't.  They got worse.The story needs major editing.  Grammar, comma usage, spelling, word choice--glaring problems that made reading the story more difficult than just the pain-filled story line.I liked that the story didn't have a traditional HEA, but the ending 11 months later still was probably too pretty to be realistic. With all the gritty misery throughout the book, however, any kind of HEA was a relief.The author did a good job of mixing in some insights among the misery to keep me hoping for redeeming times ahead for Tori. Put the story through some major editing (for grammar, etc) and make sure potential readers know it is a gritty, miserable story about the pain of addiction so that they are better prepared for it.
