A wonderful read but a slow one. I felt the narrator's pain, who was essentially the author, and connected with her. However, the story itself was slow to take off, especially in the beginning. Additionally, the end just left me with a dull ache of, "Really?" However, it is realistic; life doesn't always have a clear 'happy' or 'sad' ending, but I think there could have been a better place to end it or way to. I did really enjoy it though.
