I don't usually mind a character driven book, but I can see why you'd have trouble if you weren't connecting.

If you don't feel anything for them, then that's just meh. ):<br />I haven't read Faking Normal and I sadly doubt I would anytime in the future. Character driven books are also just not for me.
