From the beginning, I (the reader) could see that the two main characters' lives were going to intersect and that something was going to be resolved.  There were plenty of pedestrian ways that intersection could occur, and pedestrian resolutions.  The ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/61604878">more...</a>]]></body>
