Review: Could have been a better book....

I got this book for free after seeing it on the Kindle Buffett list.  I did not know the author and had no expectations other than it sounded interesting.  The concept of the book was okay, but the bigger issue for me was that it was riddled with editing and spelling issues that were very distracting. There were places where the author did not bother to write out the word years and instead used yrs.  She used hrs. instead of hours and Dr. in places where it called for the word doctor to be written.  At one point in the book there was even a place where she needed the word "in" and used "n" instead.  Some of the mistakes would not have been caught by a spell checker because they were spelled right but used wrong.  For instance, a sentence talked about someone kissing someone on the "check" when clearly "cheek" is the right word. I understand that this book was self-published but I am so disappointed that anyone who truly considers writing a "gift" could allow something riddled with these kind of mistakes to be published.  Ultimately, the editing in the later portions of the book seemed to better than that in the beginning.All that being said, the storyline was disjointed a bit and I really found myself disliking the main character Shauntel.  Chaos, drama and sex was plentiful and it did make the reading go by fast.  This was also a quick read in that I started it and finished it on the same day.  I didn't hate it, but this could have been a much better book with the help of a good editor.
