There are two ways I can review this book.
1. Knowing that this was the first published book of the author and thus be generous with the rating and take that into consideration.
2. Review this as I would any other book.

I decided to take both points into account, and thus 2 instead of 1 star.

First of all, the author could have used a proper editor. The number of grammatical mistakes is just off the charts. My own writings tend to have lots of grammatical mistakes, but then I am not writing a book which people are paying to read.

Second, quite a few discontinuity issues. Things happen at a specific time, and then next thing happens which doesn't make sense from point of temporal flow direction. There are also multiple threads of thoughts which are just hanging there. A few plotlines which get introduced but do not go anywhere.

The author also doesn't seem to grasp the idea of distance. At one point the protagonist says she heard person x calling her name when he was quarter of a mile away. That is very far, very very far to hear someone calling. Heck, you can't even hear a train at that distance.

Then there is the fact that sentences in adjacent paragraphs seem to contradict each other. First paragraph says the protagonist didn't feel anything, the very next paragraph implied that her world was turned upside down. I mean...kinda inconsistent, don't you think?

Having said all that, I come to the crux of the problem. As I was nearing the end, there were quite a few things to wrap up. And I kept wondering how is the author going to resolve all that in next 5-10 pages? Well, the answer is, the author took the easiest and probably worst way out. The protagonist was merely dreaming the whole sequence. I just read through a hundred pages just to realize that the girl was dreaming? Oh come on! Where is the resolution to the story? Where is the conclusion?
