Money well spent. The best thing about the book for me was the royalties went to charity. To me that is huge! Authors maybe make a dollar a book for every sold book, so it's not like they can afford to give their hard earned income away.Ellie Anderson awakes New Year's Day 2012 hung over after 8 vodka & cokes the evening before (maybe switch to rum and diet coke aka a skinny pirate - lol). What made the story real for me are Ellie's parents, who never loved their daughter. We know this because they shut her out of the family because she was gay. Little do they know that they are the filth in the family.Charlie is her Border Terrier and gives her all the love she needs, however Ellie has to  battle Emily Carson who wants to call Charlie her own, also. The writing just didn't do it for me, I think it is a regional thing so my recommendation would be to read the sample provided and if you enjoyed it you will enjoy the rest of the novel heartily.
