A brilliant concept for a novel...what if someone you loved who died, suddenly returned? I expected this book to go places it never went. There was so much potential here, but it never developed. I was really disappointed. Stopped reading it in the middle of the book for a few days because it was so damn boring, nothing happening. Repetitive dialog.."I don't want to do this".... "then don't"..."I really don't want to do this, I have no choice." " Then don't" "I have no choice." & so on! Yes! We get it already!!! Very confusing mini chapters thrown in, like 2 pages long, about characters on the other side of the world...with no connection to the main story. What was the point of these, I have no idea. They were never followed through on or connected to the central characters. This book got a lot of praise in the press but it really fell flat for me. The last chapter was more interesting, but still, just "EH".
