Don’t know why I bothered to finish this…I skim read the second half. The characters weren’t believable, I couldn’t sympathise with any of them. Heavy subject matters like suicide and depression written with such clumsiness. Cliched, mawkish and boring.

I enjoyed this book, but I didn't find myself thinking about it at any great length once I finished reading it. There were some interesting character moments and some nice prose, but I didn't find the story especially compelling. Just a bit of a middle-of-the-road read in general!
