[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I loved it, but I also know it’s not for everyone.  It’s dark in a way that is almost too realistic.  The ending brought me to tears.

That said, it also hasn’t stuck with me in the way that, say, that scene from The Kite Runner has.  I wasn’t traumatized by it.  I realize I’m probably not convincing you to keep reading it, but don’t want to lie and say, oh, keep going, it’s so uplifting in the end!  It’s beautiful in a heartbreaking way.

Thanks. It's well done, so not sure why I'm struggling with it. Will try to stick with it a bit further....[/quote]

I mean, yeah, it’s incredibly depressing.  That’s what I meant about it being too realistic; I’ve worked with people very similar to many of the characters.  If you’re an empathic person, it can be painful to think too much about these things.  Anyway.  It’s still really well done.  I also liked her first book, Girl in Snow, which is more of a thriller and not quite as dark. :)[/quote]
