The book started out well but then spiraled into a long, convoluted, unconvincing story. Provoked an interesting discussion about mental illness. Two of our members LOVE Jodi Piccoult's books and everyone hated this book. It would have made a great short story instead of a 500+ page book. Apparently the author wrote this in a year while working on a script for something else and it shows. Could use some SERIOUS editing. A lot of pointless story lines that just went no where.

Produced a fantastic conversation. Very short book.

This book was either loved or hated. The prose is beautiful but dense and the story can be viewed as either romantic or pathetic.
