Back story too long.
This was an easy read. She took over 200 pages to set up the conclusion. I could have read the last 50 pages and gotten the gist of the book. I never connected with the characters....

A Miss for Me
Three people, insomniacs for different reasons meet on line and decide to meet in person at a diner where they meet Betty, the waitress, who works the graveyard shift, Sybil is a forty six year old woman facing divorce from her roving husband. Zeke is an all star pitcher rehabbing from a horrific injury. Julian is a former FBI agent haunted by an unsolved case. When Julian dies and Betty disappears Zeke and Sybil are determined to find out what happened. Unfortunately the book just falls flat for me. Except for Betty the characters are unlikeable. Sybil is a nosy busybody, Zeke is a whiner, and Julian is just confusing. Sybil and Zeke's relationship doesn't make sense to me; it's too unrealistic. It also was a little suspect that within a week of meeting each other they were all so embroiled in each others lives that it became all consuming. The best part of this book is Betty's storyline and her escape from her father's oppression. But, in the end, even that fell flat
