This was one of the best reads I've had in a long, long time. I think that those who couldn't get into it because of the confusion, needed to go back and reread some of the chapters or paragraphs, until they had a clear idea of who was speaking in the book. It does switch characters and also goes back and forth from now and then. Anyway, rereading some of it helped me move forward until I didn't need any more help. In the end, it took me two days to catch up on sleep; so yeah, for me, it was one of those stay up all night books. I did despise the main character for her whining, but thats what the author intended, Im sure.
