I'm about 1/3 of the way in & just can't get interested in Casey or her life. Convince me to keep to going? It's a highly rated book but I find it mundane so far.

Laura Campbell It's a slow simmer that finds it's groove about 1/3 way through. Loved it so much!…moreIt's a slow simmer that finds it's groove about 1/3 way through. Loved it so much!(less)
