This was a really strange book with really strange characters. It was definitely "different." I gave it three stars because I can't decide if I liked it or not.

The main character, Justine, is a hypochondriac, and is also very gullible. She seems inclined to believe just about anything anyone tells her. She sees someone's photo in the paper, gets a warm fuzzy feeling, and decides he is wonderful. This opens her up to being manipulated by two different men, who are at war with each other. They both appear to be using her for their own ends - I can't see how this will turn out well for her.

I bought the next book in the trilogy "Double Cross" at the same time as I got this one, and I am not sure if I want to read it. I noticed that "Double Cross" is listed by the Club as "horror", not sci fi, which makes me even more uncertain about it.
