The Snowball Effect

This would have easily been a 5-star romance for me except for the atrocious grammar, overuse of words and phrases, typos, and wrong word choices. All of which would have been taken care of by using an editor and proofreader.

I know that this has been said about Cass's books over and over again. And some have said, "meh, it's on Kindle Unlimited, so big deal. It's free!" But it's not. KU isn't free. It's not even very cheap. It's also available for sale to those who don't have KU or who, like me, purchase books from KU authors for rereads and to give some extra support. I also don't keep KU forever and I want my re-reads available when I need them. So editing and proofreading matter.

I think this might have been the Haley Cass book that broke me. I cannot deny that she is a wonderful storyteller. And if she was posting her work for free on AO3 or on her website for consumption, I'd deal with it. But she's supposedly putting out a professional product in exchange for payment. That means it should be professionally produced. A pretty cover is great but the words inside matter much more.
