Before her death, Bryn's Great-Aunt Sonya wills her house to Bryn and extracts from her a vow--"You must live here and raise a family, as I did." My immediate thought was, well then where the heck is this family? Why is Bryn your closest kin and why does she have nobody in the world to turn to after she's hit by a car than her good-for-nothing mother?The author's premise and my response were really par for the course in this book. The story was so underdeveloped and the plot so thin that the story just wasn't interesting. I'll grant the author that she did try to create a conflict around which to base the story, but it was so contrived and poorly developed as to be quite boring. Aiden, the EMT who treats her after she's hit by a car, is so perfect (except for the almost stalkerish way he goes about getting her personal info and then making arrangements to be her roommate) and Bryn is so nearly perfect that I'm sure they'll have a pretty close to perfect life; I just don't think it'll be much more interesting than this book.
