Borrow My Heart

I don???t think I???ve ever been this disappointed in a book before. I loved some of Kasie West???s early works but recent releases haven???t lived up to the standard, and this one was the worst.

The writing is so amateurish I???m not even convinced she wrote it. The word ???said??? is supposed to be invisible to readers, but it was so overused it was like nails on a chalkboard for me and made the book a struggle to get through (to be fair, I did like the characters I was just so annoyed by the writing). Here???s an excerpt:

???Hopefully this video will make it so potential adopters will ???sign up for the next one,??? Asher said.
???I hope so,??? I said
???I don???t know,??? Chad said. ?????????People might be wary about something like this.???
???They might,??? Asher said in his good-natured way.
