Review: Written from the heart

When I read the prologue, I thought the adult speaker was a woman. And when Oliver asked, "So how'd you lose your leg anyway?", the answer was not given. On the same page, it was revealed that the adult was a man. I was surprised. The prologue was confusing, and chapter 1 took off without a clue to the person who was speaking. I started not to read the book. I persisted, though, and I'm glad I did. I agree with most of the posts that praise the book, so no need to repeat what has already been written.I will add, though, that of all the e-books I've read, only a couple had no errors in grammar--and this was not one of them. Mainly there were the very common errors using the verbs "to lie" and "to lay.""We laid on the couch...."  "Until I lied skin-to-skin with Eleanor...."  Huh? "Lied" is when someone has told a falsehood.Why, oh why, are so many people confused about these two verbs? Errors like these, and the misuse of pronouns as the object of a preposition make me grit my teeth. "The space between Eleanor and I..."I'm mentioning these errors so that Ms. Devin might want to eliminate them in her next book.
