This sounds like an interesting topic! Too bad there were so many small nuances in the storyline, I would've been distracted by those too. Thanks for the great review!

Thank you for this in-depth review! I don't think I'll be reading because of the discrepancy of the page order, that would drive me crazy. Thanks for reviewing!

This isn't quite the kind of book that appeals to me as I'm not a fan of romance and would definitely be bothered by the lack of proofreading and various inconsistencies throughout the book. Thanks for the review!

With some editing, this sounds like it would be a wonderful book for romance lovers. This book really dives into the complexities of relationships. Congrats on the book of the day. Great review.

I applaud you for making it through the whole book. I had a hard time getting through the free sample. I was so confused about all the characters, and there were so many verb tense errors, it was hard to stay focused.

Great review. It does seem a little confusing though with so many characters. I do like romance novels though so might give it a try.

The book review tells it all and hence reveals it a good book but with issues of character misorientation with eventual null clues!! Congratulations book of the day!

Eventful story. I will love to know Emily's involvement in Ian's disappearance and how she might even be involved in Tyler's dead. Maria's twisted fate is something i will want to find out. Nice Review.

Great story, but its unfortunate that its evident that little effort was put in editing and proofreading it. I hope the author fixed the downsides in the subsequent versions of the book. Thanks for the honest review.

Title sounds kind of voyeuristic to me and book's content description given in review doesn't help to entice me in reading it any better. Sorry, but I will have to skip this one.

This sounds like a soap opera to me. Also it seems that the plot and characters are incomplete. I'll pass.

This book mainly deals ith the psychological damage caused by paedophiles. I read the book and it was really riddled with errors.

After sampling the first few pages, I have to agree with your assessments. The book could definitely use some serious editing. I'll be passing on it for now. Thanks for a great review.

The story seems to have loads of twists. I like that the actions, thoughts, and emotions of the characters are well-detailed in the story. I can spare time for the book. Congratulations on being the BOTD.

This book sounds like it could have many valuable lessons. I agree that those younger than eighteen should not read it due to the sexual content; but then again, it is a shame it's not appropriate for them because it could teach them what to look for in school sex trafficking and how to say no! Thanks for an enlightening review!
