Honest Beta Readers

I posted this as a partial reply elsewhere but I thought I would post it here, too. I apologize for the duplication, but I have this problem. Do you have problems finding good, unpaid beta readers?

"My novel is in beta reader now, but only two of them so far and only one of them says she read it. No feedback, though, except gushy "I loved it" sort of things. She promised to sit down with me and go over it, using my beta reader instructions. We'll see. Getting beta readers that I can trust for honest feedback is harder than I thought. Friends and relatives are are untrustworthy. I want honest feedback, not just gush for my ego."
