Overall this book was okay. I feel the plot of Jessica having done this unforgivable thing and then coming back around was a little thin and I found myself getting bored at times. Especially when the unforgivable thing was arguably not that malicious or even intentional.

That being said, this discussions on therapy, selfishness, etc were interesting.
