I am a great fan of this author's Cindy Eller and Goldie Locke series and was really looking forward to getting into this one, too. Unfortunately, these characters leave me stone cold.  How the lead pair fall in love is beyond me; she cries constantly and he is rude and obnoxious, so the attraction is baffling though I suppose if they end up together, they'll at least deserve one another. I am unlikely to find out, though, as I am dumping this novel at the 50% mark.Even more irritating than Meg, the protagonist, are the proofreading and editing errors that run through Adrift. This book claims an editor, but she apparently doesn't know the difference between "to" and "too" or how to correctly and consistently  use punctuation and capitalization. There are also many, many repeated words in adjoining paragraphs -- exactly the sort of early draft error that should have been caught by a capable editor.
