I had a really hard time deciding if I liked this book or not. It made me sad in an empty kind of way. I guess you could say it is very real - it talks about people that have intense problems and the effects that these problems have on their loved ones. Honestly some parts of it made me sick to my stomach. I think that it proved many of the characters to be very selfish, but all in all it was well written and thought provoking, I found it frustrating that I knew more about each character than they did about each other, but I guess that is how life works in the real world.
