[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I listened to the audiobook for this when it first came out - I don't remember a lot of the details other than that I didn't really like any of the characters and it was pretty depressing as someone who's not to that stage of life yet, but not far from it.  But I also couldn't stop listening to it and certain aspects of the plotline or the images from it have stuck with me.[/quote]

Which ones?

I sometimes get things from media I dislike - or don't feel quite settled by - stuck in my head, too. I thought Addie LaRue was a really engaging but frustrating book, for example - and sometimes out of nowhere I will picture her and Luc sitting at a nightclub, and just beg her to ask him some questions about his life while they're there. Don't just sit there petulantly, you have eternity to LEARN and discover things! (She doesn't listen).[/quote]

PP here.  *Spoilers*

The part about the wife who died young of Wilson disease. [b] I have pretty extreme medical anxiety, so this sort of thing sticks with me. [/b]

The sayings on the workout tanks.  I think of this (and chuckle) every time I see a workout shirt with words on it, on a person or while shopping.

The general sense of doom I had the whole time reading it.  It just felt like nothing good was possible - and then things would take a turn for the worse.

Me too- I avoid all movies, books and even articles where illness or disability is anything but a quickly glossed over element. My brain fixates on death and disease without any additional stimuli.  [/quote]
