The story wasn't horrible, but most of the dialogue was so stilted it really detracted from my overall enjoyment of this book. There were also some distracting ebook formatting issues that (I hope, anyway) probably wouldn't have existed in the print book. Frequently within conversations a response to the first character's comment was continued on the same line as the original dialogue, which made it challenging to follow the conversation--I often had to stop, go back, and figure out which character actually said which bit. Sometimes a scene/time shift was indicated by spacing, but about half of the time, it wasn't--so again, I had to mentally downshift, realize Aha! New Scene! and then continue on. There were a lot of POV shifts--more frequent than I usually enjoy--and those weren't indicated by an extra space either. Without these frustrations, it *might* have earned an extra star, but perhaps not. Overall, I was very glad I had gotten this one from the library rather than spending money on it. ( )
