Didn't meet my expectations

My first impression of this novel was that it was original, witty, and fun. I loved the concept: characters in an author's imagination having minds of their own, and working to make a change in the author's life so she'd get out of stagnant relationship and take up her writing again.

Unfortunately, the concept didn't pan out for me. There were some funny parts, but they were far and few between. I couldn't get invested in any of the characters, and the fast pace sacrificed their development. It's tough to like a book when you don't care about the characters at all. The novel just seemed very cookie cutter beyond the self-aware book character angle, and I'm not generally a fan of romance or thriller novels. I suppose it could be considered a fun, easy read, but it just wasn't for me.
