Glad to see I'm not the only one who disliked this book. It was very repetitive. I didn't care about the characters...probably because I never knew their names, ages, or any background information. And the thing that bothered me the most was the lack of punctuation for dialogue. It made a boring book even more difficult to read. I never know what to expect when I read an "Oprah's pick." I had to finish it to find out if it was really as bad as I kept thinking it was. I was not disappointed.
