Review: Good concept but no connection

Prophecy Girl sounded like a book I would just devour quickly. That didn't happen. Somewhere around 40% the book just lost my interest. I had a very hard time finishing and kept having to go back and reread parts that I just zoned out on just to understand what was going on. I liked the concept because it seemed different. I liked that Sam and Nick's relationship wasn't just insta-love but actually seemed to grow as the story progressed. I think it was a little dialogue heavy for my taste. And I never could decide if this was written in third or first person. It seemed to switch back and forth which I found distracting. I loved the pacing in the beginning and end but the middle part of the book just dragged on and on. I think my main problem with this book though was the lack of connection. For some reason I just couldn't get invested because while I liked the characters, I was not drawn to any of them. The story had potential but just never came alive for me. Not horrible but just not for me.
