*COMMENT SWAP*
UM..... I don't agree with revelations. I like this book. The fact that it's in a bunch is not a big deal. It's how we want it and if other readers don't like it they can just get the boot. I love this story and you would be going me a favor if you just turned your head form all the negativity
I feel like the use of more detail would really help grab your readers into the story. When you tell it, you seem to just be jumping from one activity to the next with out really savoring the moment. Instead of 'I dried off, got dressed, and put some make up on.' You could instead describe what she was thinking when she was drying off? The process of her picking out her outfit, or what she chose to wear. How she put her make up on, and the colors she wanted to use. Granted, don't go crazy and start adding in a bunch of superfluous details but a little more wouldn't hurt in your case.
I also feel like, even though you are trying to move the story along, you think about how you wanted to end your chapters. Cliffhangers keep the reader wanting more. Or the build up of drama. Something to make me want to be sucked into the story. I would have liked to have gotten to know the characters a bit and connected with them on some sort of personal level.
