For a book about a topic I find really interesting, this was pretty dull. I think I was mostly put off by Vincent's attitude toward mental health conditions and even her own mental health. There wasn't enough meat here.
This was SO SLOW. It felt like it took a month to read. I might still be reading it, actually.
The big plot development that's, like, the point of the book doesn't happen until more than halfway through. Unacceptable.
Again, a good concept with less-than-stellar execution. Also, Goldman is anoher unfortunate victim of Can'tstopusingcharacters'fullnamesitis. We must find a cure!
