The Secrets Next Door

Holy cow. I have three questions:
1. Was this written by a Middle Schooler?
2. Was this edited by a Middle Schooler?
3. If no to the above, HOW WAS THIS PUBLISHED?!

I'm sorry, I'm usually not harsh in my review, but this book was painfully bad. The author felt the need to detail every tiny little thing, down to the color of the neighbor's toenails. NONE OF THIS MATTERS! This book could've been 200 pages shorter and still told the same story. It felt like I was listening to something written by a child, and even then, they could've done better. I have not disliked a book this strongly in a long, long time. The narrator was awful, too.
