The cover is awesome, and the start of the book sucks you in. From there it goes south.Typos and grammar issues through out. But what really bothered me is the wording. It's clear this author isn't from America, and that's perfectly fine. But when you're writing a book based on American teenagers in America I think it pretty darn important to get the lingo down. American lingo. Not Australian lingo.American teenagers don't say 'whilst' or 'Erm..' That phrase was used waaaaay too much. Then there are the phrases like "He was stood in front of me at the door." Or "I begged him not to shot me." At first I thought typo, but it was repeated time and again. None of it made any sense, and it's pretty sad because this story had great potential. Especially the plot twist that I honestly didn't see coming, the only reason this book got 2 stars instead of one.So this is a note to all foreign authors. I will gladly read a book based on teenagers in your country, or teenagers that are from your country and move to America. But, if you're going to write a book based on Americans make sure you're terminology is mostly correct.
