I was so looking forward to reading this. I was then so disappointed when I did. Although the author suffered a tragic loss, it was hard to connect with her. She seemed very selfish, cold and removed from the tragedy around her and I still can't get over the fact that she did not warn her parents.

As someone who has small children, I had difficulty reading this book. I had to come back to it many times to finish it. It is absolutely heart wrenching. That being said, it is well written and I found it well worth the read.
