The way the characters talk to each other in this book is unrealistic. No one talks that way. Just over the top barfy unrealistic love talk.

It was anti climatic and I can’t believe I actually finished it. Don’t bother reading. ...more

I wanted to like this book. I really did. I gave it a good 145 pages before I had to call it quits. Picoult is one of my favorite authors and most of I wanted to like this book. I really did. I gave it a good 145 pages before I had to call it quits. Picoult is one of my favorite authors and most of her books I give 5 five star ratings to. This one however, bored the living daylights out of me. I’m not a big fan of early poetry and Shakespeare is not my thing. Sorry, this one was not for me. I give it three stars though because of her research and amazing writing abilities. If not for that, it would get a 1 star from me. ...more
Wow…. Not even sure what I just experienced. This book was like I was in one never ending nightmare. I’ve never read this genre of a novel. Part psychWow…. Not even sure what I just experienced. This book was like I was in one never ending nightmare. I’ve never read this genre of a novel. Part psychological warfare and part horror. Did I enjoy it? I’m not sure yet…. Still recovering. It was definitely a weird, crazy story but I couldn’t put it down. The author did an amazing job with the characters and it kept me guessing and on the edge of my seat the entire time. Parts felt very far fetched (but isn’t that what nightmares are made of?) and the beginning was a little slow moving but don’t give up. Keep reading. You’ll be glad you did. ...more

Having endured the loss of my mother at a young age, as well as the loss of a brother to substance abuse and a father to suicide, I find myself able to empathize profoundly with her experiences. She exemplified remarkable strength, yet her suffering seemed to accompany her throughout her life. I believe this is a common phenomenon for individuals who lose a parent during their formative years. Additionally, the fact that her daughter completed this book as a tribute to her mother enhanced its significance for me. It strikingly conveys honesty and candor, positioning itself among the finest celebrity autobiographies I have encountered. I encourage readers to approach this book with an open mind....more

But in the big scheme of things I found it repetitive and long winded. What she wrote in this long book could have been said in half the time. I found myself getting bored and actually skimming and skipping over pages and pages until I reconnected with a subject that was of interest to me. Just didn’t keep my interest. ...more
