This is one of those books that you will think about for a long time to come. The other reviews have really said it all - the ending is jarring, the characters have all experienced heartbreaks of one kind or another, the story is full of loneliness, wrenching emotions, and all-too-real disappointments. But so is life - and this author truly knows how to build the intensity as the story unfolds.
If all of the books you read must have a happy ending, then this is not the book for you. If, however, you want to read a story that slowly grabs hold of you and drags you along, makes you alternate between loving and hating the main character, and, ultimately, drops you so that you suddenly come crashing through to reality, then, by all means, get your hands on a copy of this book. When you have finished reading it, you will find yourself going back through the story, looking for the little clues and hints that will finally make you grudgingly believe the truth in the (very ambiguous) ending.
