★☆☆☆☆
Like the main character's life, this book is many things. Unfortunately none of them are great.
First things first, this is listed in "Post Apocalyptic SciFi", and while reality itself might fit into that category right now, this book has none of those elements. It is at its core a self-help novel, then chick lit (which I usually have a soft spot for), and then speculative/psuedo-spiritual fiction. Nothing post-apocalyptic or scifi about it at all. Which was disappointing. As many many other reviewers have said, the book was so very predictable. It was also lacking entirely in conflict. Perhaps it was the author's heavy heavy use of foreshadowing. Perhaps it was the subject and plot. Either way, there's nothing at all exciting, challenging, or novel about the story. It was simply a drawn-out retelling of the Three Ghosts of Relationship Past Present and Future. Ho hum pigs bum.
