good book! very interesting plot and I loved the ideas the author explored as someone who is touch deprived and mentally ill. the way she writes is mesmerizing -- I couldn't stop having to put the book down and repeat some sentences over and over again. one thing is I don't know why the review on the front of the book said it was "fan-yourself sexy"; yes there was sex in this book but it wasn't arousing. which is kind of a weird critique but the sex is portrayed as something the main character uses to exist, and it's kind of abusive sex at that. which may imply the author meant to use it as something different and I just didn't get it. anyways. good book.
