Query: characters don't come to life

Desdemona is an odd ball in her family. She comes from a family of theater people, but she doesn't have any of the family talent for acting. Instead, she runs a catering company that helps keep the rest of the family financial stable.Stark runs a computer security company and first meets Desdemona when he is jilted and Desdemona is trying to collect on her catering bill for a wedding that never happened.The characters in the book seem flat and with about 100 pages left I found myself skimming because I didn't really care what happened. Sometimes the characters just acted completely irrationally. For example, they didn't call the police when major evidence was found in a murder case. I just couldn't get into it when the characters seemed so ridiculously unreal.
