bailed

I think this was a freebie on Kindle and thank goodness it was free. This is really not good. I am bailing because the writing style really needs some editing. Not for me and I would not recommend to others. #hailthebail

Allthebookclubs This entire book is the same as the 1998 movie Hope Floats. Exactly. The. Same. 3w
