2.5 stars. There were times reading this that I saw so much potential...but it just left me cranky in the end. Sometimes it felt like the author was just trying to fill in space, and the narrative was just going in circles and circles... So much time spent analyzing. When the plot moved forward with actual action, it was enjoyable... But when they were hanging out in the room ruminating over why they feel the way they do...well it just lost me. And I'm not actually someone that requires a lot of action...it just seemed like going over and over old ground. So yeah, this book was not for me. Ah well...
