Query: I had to skip parts just to get through it.

The book has a very intriguing premise--two people who suffered horrible loss finding each other. I tried hard to like it because I admire people who endure hardship without becoming bitter, but I never felt drawn into the story. For me, the author does too much telling in describing her characters, repeating facts again and again, without much showing of the characters' natures. It seemed as if the author was forcing the story instead of allowing it to unfold for the reader, which left me "uninvested" in their plights.
