The Grift by Debra Ginsberg

Good premise, not so good book. The interesting part was how a psychic conducts her business--how she examines people to get clues about them so she can know what to give them at their "reading." The uninteresting part was how unbelievable some of the plot was. The author skips from various character's point of view, then drops entire sections of time. The appearance (and subsequent death) of the boyfriend was really not plausible either. A man shows up and watches you for a day, then accosts you in the parking lot and you never ask him why he is there? You just end up in love with him, sleeping with him, and having him father your baby. But he dumps you and is killed at your office. Oh, and you suddenly discover that you really are psychic, you can see dead people and read people's thoughts. The whole plot got worse the more I read. And the resolution was too neat and tidy. Not recommended unless you are desperate.
