I read the reviews before starting the book, which at the time all of them were raving. I have to say, I am severely disappointed. The beginning was interesting but failed after the first chapter where things took a right turn into the land of complete confusion.Lisa is looking for satisfaction in her life: the right job, the perfect man, and so on. She is offered a spectacular opportunity to see some of it come into fruition with a brand new job. Unfortunately after she signs up the book kind of falls. There are too many questions left unanswered, and some things that flat out make no sense. It jumps immediately into a five year time skip were suddenly everything gets odd all at once. Her boss is interested in her (which you read in the blurb, but why does it take five years to get there?), a paranormal spin pops up where Lisa acts totally unfazed but it's all brand new to her, I could go on for awhile about it. Maybe the next book to explain some of these things, but it still wouldn't help with the unrealistic additions added into the character development and plot line.The writing itself was hard to read through. It seems to jump tenses, has too much unneeded detail, and at some points has a forced feel to it. I wish I could have connected better with the characters but it never got to that point. About half-way through I started to skim to the end- which was absolutely predictable.I did not enjoy this and definitely won't buy the next one when it comes out, the remaining questions are not that important to me.
