Ok, here is my take on this puppy. I think it was well written but it was the topic that I found annoying. I enjoyed parts of this book...but on a whole, I was annoyed a great deal of the time by the lead character and her behavior. Don't get me wrong, I got a good cry out of it...but I would never read it again. Anyone want to borrow my copy? I'll mail it to you.
