This short story is about a girl name Talonda who is constantly abused by her boyfriend Chris a.k.a Ace. I read this just to pass time.Normally, stories dealing with domestic violence are fast reads for me. The story was only 52 pages and could be read in about 15 to 30 minutes depending on how fast you read. I gave this book a one star for effort and that is as far as it goes. I will not lie and sugarcoat my review but the editing in this book is HORRIBLE. It's one thing to overlook a few mistakes here and there. But this story,  it is clear that it was not proofread. There is no way it could have been with all those grammatical errors. Some sentences had no periods or commas. The was spelled th. Oven was spelled over. 6 years was written as 6 tears. Sink was spelled skink. Any was spelled amy. There were just too many errors with the story leaving the reader trying to figure out was being said.The time in one part was 9:15 but wrote as 915. Some people can overlook editing. For me,  I only finished because it was only 52 pages and I got around it enough to see how it all played out. The story is all over the place. I can almost tell where the author was going with the story but she didn't do a good job of showing the reader. It's like someone explaining a situation to you but not knowing exactly how to use the right words to do so. If there is a follow up,  I will NOT read it.
