Query: Complete letdown...or a good waste of valuable reading time

Don't be fooled by the interesting synopsis on the back of the book...this book doesn't deliver. I don't expect a happy ending in every work of fiction, but this one leaves you completely high and dry. The first part is full of wonderful detail and introspection, unfortunatley that part takes up three-quarters of the book. There is no climax until the book is 75% over and the reader is left feeling that the end is very rushed. "Come on, Alice. Time's up!"..."Oh, O.K....just give me another five minutes." I appreciate foreplay as much as the next girl, but the finish has to count for something! Romance is best the first time around, we get that, but did she have to take up so much time getting to the point? I'd pick another book before I'd recommend this to anyone.
