This was an interesting book, to say the least, an interesting concept with an interesting ending.
I had trouble connecting for the first third of the book and the story became slow until halfway through.
I feel that at the beginning a closer look into the grief and trauma the characters were feeling would've been a very helpful tool in connecting to them, especially the main female. I noticed that we were focusing on her 'gift' and ignoring the feelings that she would've been feeling at certain moments, taking this into account, the speed through her life until she had settled into a stable career and house had me trying very hard not to skim.
After the halfway mark the story was more steady and had me wanting to keep reading to find out more but the fact that it took that long to feel fully connected did make it a slower reading experience.
