I don't know if I'll pick up the re-release if and when I see it, but who knows?

I have sense heard from the A.J. and she has sent the book for a rework and re edit, so I think the second time release of the book will be better. I think it goes to show the determination of A.J. and the importance of constructive criticism.<br />Thanks againBlood Rose Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01131354776661982287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2610872666699266078.post-47211560170167275422013-11-17T01:26:34.699-08:002013-11-17T01:26:34.699-08:00I think you were more charitable about the book th...I think you were more charitable about the book than I would be. You're very right that the book is in serious need of editing, and I found that made it really hard to get into the story, because the bad grammar and poor phrasing often left me either confused or laughing. Megan did not feel real to me, not did most of the characters actually. I usually like books that deal with "hard themes," but I found the abuse and bullying were not very well handled in this book. I have seen much better treatments of these topics in fanfiction, which has the added benefit of being free, and often better edited. Myrfield should do some more research into effects and mechanisms of abuse before writing books about it, and she should get a good beta reader.<br />Jennynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2610872666699266078.post-63844310857375913522013-05-09T06:40:18.786-07:002013-05-09T06:40:18.786-07:00This is avail at chapters indigo and coles too! sa...This is avail at chapters indigo and coles too! saw it thereAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
