Publisher's summary

Beautiful, happily married, and the owner of a successful interior design business, Casey Marshall couldn't be more content with her life, until a car slams into her at almost 50 miles an hour, breaking nearly every bone in her body and plunging her into a coma.

Lying in her hospital bed, Casey realizes that although she is unable to see or communicate, she can hear everything. She quickly discovers that her friends aren't necessarily the people she thought them to be - and that her accident might not have been an accident at all. As she struggles to break free from her living death, she begins to wonder if what lies ahead could be even worse.

"Fielding is a master of anticipation and knows how to create a labyrinth of tension, never providing an exit until the very last page." ( The Globe and Mail)

thought it would never end!

I read the reviews on this book, which were mixed, and decided to give it a shot because the idea for the story was very interesting. It could have been a great story but the main character (casey) was disgustingly perfect in every way and her sister was so annoying I could hardly stand it. The story kept jumping back to fill in background on casey's life and I kept fast forwarding through it. It was very predicatable, disappointing and in some parts just plain annoying. Thanks to the ability to fast forward, I did manage to finish listening just because I wanted to see how casey got out of her predicament.

This book put ME into a coma

I should have been smart enough to realize that a book where the main character is in a coma through the whole thing would be boring...unfortunately I thought I'd give it a try. Another book that makes me wish we could get our money back. It was so boring. I did want to find out how it ended but it was so boring to get to....it dragged on and on and on....similar to being in a coma. First I set my Ipod on 2x speed so I'd get through it faster. Then I started fast forwarding and then listening, fast forwarding and then listening. Soon I was skipping ahead without even fast forwarding. I would have just ditched it but I wanted to know how it ended. I think I got this one on a sale, I've got to stop doing that.

may not finish it.

I'm writing this review half way through the book because I am not sure I can finish it. The narration is so bad. At least hire someone who has been to Philadelphia if you're going to do a book about the region. So many words are mispronounced and the "history lessons" are totally half-assed. I am bored and annoyed by the whole thing. By the way it's THE Main Line, not Mainline.
