This book was fine. Just fine. I did like Nona, the heroine, she asserted her independence at every turn! But aside from that it was mostly unmemorable.

WAWOT!!!!
(In other words: "WHAT A WASTE OF TIME!")
And what a CRAP BOOK!!!
The whole phone caller hypnotist thing was as STUPID as it gets, and it's hard to feel sympathy for a main character whose reaction after learning she unwittingly caused the death of her "true love" (not to mention another guy she had a fling with while in one of her hypnotic personalities) was that if he had lived, it probably wouldn't have lasted anyway! And this is after she got naked with a third guy, one who she's marrying (yes, she gets over deaths with lightning speed) because she likes not being too emotional about him.
Guess who should have died, instead?
