This was the strangest book. I'm really not sure what to say about it. The plot isn't the slightest bit realistic, but I think my biggest issue is with character development. The characters are over the top. They all need therapy. The angst was overblown. The only reason I kept reading was because I thought maybe there was going to be some big twist at the end that was going to bring it all together and suddenly everything would make sense. Spoiler alert: There wasn't.
