Mediocre characters combined with a mediocre plot add up to a mediocre read. I probably would have given it 3 stars just for the characterizations of the dogs (which were good), except for one annoying habit of the author. You read a chapter and go through the action with the characters. Then someone who wasn't there shows up and the entire scene you just spent 5 minutes reading is gone over again - in its entirety - for the new person. This happens several times in the book. There is even at least one instance where the same sequence is gone over three times! Just too boring. I also didn't connect with the main character. I think that the author wanted to make her seem endearing by having her completely inept at using any kind of electronic equipment, having no sense of direction, and being unable to run or even walk without falling down or tripping. In one stretch, the author spends page after page describing her trying to get into bed without falling out. I'm sure it was supposed to be "cute", but it just bored me. I couldn't click the forward arrow on my Kindle fast enough. I didn't like the book very much and I cannot recommend it.
