Disjointed, depressing, and haunting. I can't think of one redeeming quality of this book. I am sorry I read it all the way through. I naively thought it had to get better. The protagonist is the most unlikable and unlovable character; it's hard to see what "he" sees in her. The story is told in little vignettes, little nuggets, each a sharp, bitter mouthful of pain and despair, which the reader must dutifully swallow for 300 pages. The dreadful foreshadowing should have been a big enough warning for me, and I should have abandoned this work. However, all this said, I cannot say this book didn't have an impact on me-- it left me in a deep funk.
