This book made me very emotional, and I think spoke a lot to suburbia and family ideals and expectations. I was really worried that there wouldn't be any growth or change, but then ending left me somewhat hopeful, and made up for a lot of the bleakness in the beginning. That said, for me I think it overall represents a life that really scares me. Not a bad book, but not my favorite. Not sure how to give a star rating.
