Title: Good Effort, Poor Execution
Review: It was a good effort. The storyline did have an unexpected twist at the end which redeemed this travesty of literature in my eyes. However the editing was non-existent, the characters were one-dimensional and unbelievable. (A woman as strong as Cynthia is portrayed would not stay in a domestic violence situation for 10 years.) There were numerous syntax errors which were very distracting and kept me from taking the book too seriously. The use of the different fonts was also distracting. An artist paints a picture and lets the viewer interpret for themselves what it means. A viewer of a fine painting tries describing what the painting is telling them. The author spent too much time spelling things out and not enough time painting her verbal picture, letting the reader explore the emotions invoked on Cynthia's roller-coaster ride for themselves.
