The cover and title catch your eye a little bit, but the synopsis is definitely what got me interested. After reading this first chapter though, I'm not entirely sure I would go on from here. Within one 10ish page chapter there were already a handful of grammatical and spelling mistakes, which is a great way to give a really bad first impression when you're trying to get people interested in your debut novel. I also found the writing to be sub par by typical YA standards. Though we're aware that the narrator is a teen, her voice sounds more like that of a whiny 11 year old, and the mother's total immaturity just isn't believable. Seems to me that this book could use several more rounds of editing before it's actually ready to hit shelves. The author is selling themselves short if they truly believe this is the best they can do.
