For Your Sake is a character driven story which I totally appreciated. Ben's characters was well fleshed out and so was Eva. This was the story's strongest selling point. The author was really able to show me the characters' motivations. It's a big plus that I actually liked both of them.The secondary characters were a joy to read as well. They were intriguing and they provided some of the more lighter moments in the story. Even the prominent people in the town stood out including the town itself. Not an easy feat to do but Ms. DiSano was able to take me there.So yeah, they really worked for me. Big time.But there were also things that didn't quite work. For one, I felt it this was too long and the prose meandered a bit in some places. While slow is usually expected with character driven fare like this one, there were times when I just wish, the story would just cut to the chase especially when it came to describing the clothes, car, the sidewalk...etc, etc.Another thing I wasn't too crazy about was the editing; missing quotation marks, commas, misspelled words and the formatting annoyed me a little bit. It's disconcerting to read a paragraph where you don't quite know where the dialogue indeed due to a missing quotation mark.Despite those issues, I really enjoyed this book. I felt that this book would be even more awesome with more proofing perhaps and with better formatting. But overall, still a great read.
