I liked this book for the way it looked at the personal implications for an individual and family for having a diagnosis of a "condition". Turner's sydrome in this book was also discussed extremely well. Interesting how all the kids in the book had a "condition" (being gay, ADHD) yet the family chose to focus on the girl with Turner's.
Enjoyed this look into a family where a significant medical diagnosis is made.
nice character development. Liked the insight into how a medical "condition" affects someone personally and how other family members respond to it, and how the person herself responded to it.
I am in the medical profession, so I thought this book was particularly good at showing how a medical diagnosis can really affect a family. Interesting character development.
Slow in the beginning, and not many redeeming qualities in any of the characters, but they all pulled it together by the end. I was satisfied with the ending.
It seemed like the first half of the book contained way too much backstory.
