A very strange book. First of all the first 63 pages was one dinner and one migraine. The entire book didn't have hardly any plot but more of a series of scenes that focus on one issue. About page 80 a "shocker" was introduced, and this did help the story slightly, but it didn't make that much sense. Throughout the book I kept thinking, wow, she is really upplaying how hard her past is - come to find out its very minor quibbles. I have to say this is the most neurotic protagonist I have ever read about as well. When she finally does relax it's melodramatic. She's as highstrung as they come, moody to the extreme, and has a chip on her shoulder (for small reason) the size of a boulder. ( )
