How to Stop Time

Readable right from the start and fairly quick to move through with the shorter chapters, but not sure what the main story is outside of the main character's unusual situation and what feels like short glimpses/stories of specific experiences over time around it that don't add up to much. Expected a story more in the drama/thriller/sci-fi realm based on one of the author's other works, but this is more of a love story/lost family/secret society tale that never seemed to get to the next level. However, the ending was good, as it brought everything full circle and tied the story in a nice bow.
