Review: Good muse, but needed something more

I didn't care for, or dislike the main character, Kathleen.  She was somewhat of a smart alec -- as we would say back in the day. I couldn't feel the emotion between her and Richard.I won't re-tell the overview of the story, as others have done a good job of that.As far as the writing craft, I would give it 5 stars, but the story bogged down in many places, and I skimmed them because it was interesting enough that I wanted to see how it ended.Wordy -- that is how I describe the story.  For readers who like little details, you will find this very informative and interesting, but for those like me, I am more of a concept reader, and so I skimmed the details, and found them quite boring.I finally got used to the author's use of (parentheses,)but as first they were very distracting.  They became fewer as the story went on, and I got used to them.
