    Nice story, if a bit draggy in places, but what really made me want to give it only 2 stars was the lack of editing. I realise that self-publishing is a perfectly valid way of getting your work out to the public. Possibly even the preferable method, especially for new writers and those in less popular genres. But...it's really no excuse for not editing. Or, perhaps it's fairer to say, Word is not an editor. I didn't notice any egregious misspellings, so the word processor did it's duty, but it can't be expected to have a function for "I don't think that word means what you think it means." Or, one for "Wow, you've used the metaphor to death! Want to try something different?" Nor can it deal with "Wait...what? You say you've hardly spoken, and never heard her laugh, when just 10 pages ago, you had a conversation that ended in mutual laughter?" And last, but not least, no word processor will ever be able to explain why Nicki left poor Ellen in Italy and came home with some stranger named Helen.

    All of which is to say I enjoyed it, I'm happy to have read it, but it could have been much better.

    It was hard at times to know which of the characters viewpoint I was reading.
