Review: Great Concept, Poorly Executed

I started quickly skimming thru the novel half-way in when in truth I just wanted to not continue.What I liked:- plot: the female protagonist, Chloe, is able to communicate with all animals, telepathically.- for the first time she's able to converse with a human, Jorge, telepathically as well.What I disliked:- even though the concept was intriguing, the entire story was one long bore.- both Chloe and Jorge are adults, but it's hard to pinpoint their ages. I mention this because the dialogue came across as quite childish; I kept picturing teens.- Chloe can communicate with animals, but to do the same with dead animals? Just didn't work for me.- Both protagonists lacked depth and character.- Even with a lot of sex scenes, I didn't feel any heat or chemistry between the two. Everything about them was flat.
