3.0

This book just vaguely sickened me the entire time I was reading it, but I still couldn't put it down.

I hated every character except Lorraine, and every situation they got into felt worse for them, and for me as a reader.

I will never touch this book again, but I don't really regret reading it, if only to feel better about my own life.
