I received a copy in exchange for honest review.
The blurb for this book makes it sound intriguing and as it opens, I am pulled in. I like the main character, Natalie and I immediately get really into the story. However I'm unable to go on as what I call 'text speak' is used in the context. I can let go of grammar when it's to convey someone's accent, or manner of writing, etc. That is a different issue. When I'm going along and words like "coz" are being used repeatedly, I'm sorry but I'm not going to read the book. If you didn't have the self respect to type out the words correctly, why should I spend my time reading the book?
I do think this was shaping up to be a great read, but I cannot get past the manner of writing in order to find out.
