Is it odd to say a book feels like it is more for writers than readers? This book feels like a book for writers and that happens to not exactly be my cup of tea it seems.

Slow start but it picks up. The character's stories loosely interwove together in an interesting way. For awhile i wondered how it would all come together, but it does nicely. Worst person of the year award easily goes to Blaine...best person character is a tough call between Corrigan and Gloria.

Three words to sum up this book: Life goes on.
