The author has written a decent story, but she has made it less enjoyable because she is trying to hard. She prolongs the story with a lot of wordiness, repeating the same thing several times when it is not necessary. Additionally, she uses a lot of uncommon words that are a bit over kill for the type of story she is writing. You need a dictionary to read this book, and it takes the joy out of listening to the story. I wish I could give this book a better rating, but it was somewhat disappointing for the above reasons.
