I couldn't finish it. The main character lacked depth and personality, and I felt the conflict wasn't intense enough to hold my interest. Her love interest, the tall, gray-eyed rich guy with a mysterious past seemed too cliche, and dull as well. Main character's a widow, and though her loss was written about in the beginning, I didn't feel her dead husband's mark in her daily life to really understand her hot/cold grief. It's like she had moved on, but then she'll be crying about him, but as the reader I never truly got to "know" him enough to empathize with her loss. And whenever her love interest talked to her, she gave 1-2 word answers that made her so utterly uninteresting, I can't see what he found so intriguing about her. And when they did engage in talk, and though the characters felt like they connected, but to me the dialogue sounded more like really, really small talk. I got very bored, put the book away, and picked up Life of Pi instead.
