This book was very different from what I thought it would be. At times I labored through it - it was very wordy, the main character was self-centered and whined too much, and there were points where I just wanted to "get through it." Although I'm glad I finished it, I wouldn't necessarily seek out another book by this author based on this one. It could have lost about 1/3 of the text and the message still would have gotten across. On another site a reader stated: "I gave myself a star for finishing it." I'm not quite at that point, but it was close.
