Since I'm nitpicky, I'll admit I was bothered by quite a few missing words and a couple of problems with incorrect word usage. However, this may only be a problem in the ebook version. The characters and their story kept me entertained and engaged to the end.
Book Beginning - (Each chapter has a quote at the beginning):
Chapter 1 - You don't know a woman till you've met her in court. - Norman Mailer
"It's a great day for a divorce." Lauren took a quick look around to see if anyone had heard her talking to herself before she hurried up the courthouse steps. If everything went according to plan, she would walk out of this building a free woman. She'd sleep a lot better and breathe a lot easier minus the hundred and eighty pounds of man meat she'd been lugging around for far too long.
The Friday56 (from 56% on my Kindle):
"...He lost everything. His business, his home, his marriage. Everything."
Genre: Contemporary Romance / Romantic Comedy
Length: 238 Pages

I don't think it's you being nit-picky, the editor should've had an eye out for incorrect use of words. It is a bit of a pet peeve of mine, actually! I definitely like the sound of the beginning, although her casual attitude towards the divorce is quite in contrast with the F56! Thanks for sharing :) Have a great weekend!

LOL Sounds fun!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!
Very humorous opening sentence! Thanks for visiting me earlier!
ReplyDeleteAlthough the book beginning plays with the idea that divorce is loose and nonessential, it is a very heavy subject, and I imagine that the healing process is quite painful and difficult to get through; especially after reading your Friday 56! I do hope your characters found resolve :)
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend Sandra :)
Judging by F56 I think things went as planned for the woman! :D Thanks for stopping by earlier!
