FYI - For those of you who may be offended, this book is LGBT friendly in a major way. Although I am tolerable of other lifestyles, the book was unrealistic in the sense that almost all of the characters the protagonist met were lesbians.

The book was rather difficult to read, thanks to a protagonist with a tendency to ramble, which she confesses to almost immediately in her first 'diary entry'.

I feel as if the story line/plot had a lot to offer, but that the author just didn't follow through. I'm sure it was meant to be thought-provoking and somewhat of a thriller, though all I got from it was a mild sense of unease that developed into lack of closure.

This brings me to my last complaint: the complete lack of resolution. All that build up, and then BAM! Book is over.

Overall, would not recommend.
