I rarely give up on a book. I always feel that books require a commitment, and usually the commitment pays off. This is one of the very few books that I put down after 80 pages. I just could not finish it. The author is a gifted writer. Her style is very simple and straightforward, her descriptions flawless, and her emotion is wedded to the page. That is the problem. I was depressed. Literally. I just could not continue reading this book. I know that losing a mate is a difficult, heartwrenching occurrence. I really could no longer reading her suicidal, self-pitying thoughts anymore. I literally felt as though it was affecting me mentally. So, I have given up on it. There seemed to be no relief in sight. I have no idea whether she rescues herself from the gloom. I really don't care at this point.
