Query: Plodding and dull.

The premise of this novel really caught my attention, but there just isn't any substance. Mike is paralyzed after a dive into a reservoir, and Carrie, his fiance, is torn between doing the "right" thing or ending the relationship...which we find was in trouble before the accident. It is hard to care what she does after the plodding and lack luster beginning to the book. Carrie just seems to be devoid of personality and spunk. I was glad when she decided to run to NYC, and saw a bit of hope when she found her "calling". Unfortunately the end was as gloomy as the beginning.
