Cathy T. reviewed on 11/15/2009

Helpful Score: 3

The main character in this book is so thoroughly unlikeable that you actually feel sorry for her boyfriend -- a character who a reader would normally loathe. The author's use of "lists" that her depressed character writes is simply aggravating. I will give it one prop: It is a penetrating account of a person having a nervous breakdown. I will also note that even though I knew this book was on people's wish lists, I left it in my hotel room on my vacation. It was such a miserable read (I did keep reading because I thought it was going to get better --- read it right till the last miserable page) that I couldn't imagine adding it to my carry-on bag's weight.

If you are reading this review before adding it to your wish list -- please spare yourself and skip it.
