wrong time, good book situation - i think though the writing style is wisely chosen for this book it is so difficult to read and keep up, making it harder to read. i adored sara and her story -

my fave scene was with harry when they both had a heart to heart.

and how the system failed to protect her from those diet pills. excited to compare it to the movie.
