A review by ivanssister
The Almost Moon by Alice Sebold

2.0

This is the second book in a row I've read that features parents with mental illness and suicide. Clearly my next book needs to be some sort of palate cleanser.

The reviews of this book are all over the board. I was interested in the storyline (read the book within a 24 hour period in fact) but wasn't very sympathetic to the main character. I get how sometimes we end up in unintended situations, but I wasn't feeling the love. I was just tired and annoyed that the family was so broken and never did anything about it.
