I've been depressed before, so it's not that I can't relate. It's just that I got the sense that she enjoyed her struggle a bit too much at times, that perhaps she enjoyed the attention. I mentioned this to my daughter who recommended the book and she disagreed with me, so that's just my opinion obviously. But I found that opinion somewhat distracting. I have not seen the movie and do at some point want to watch it. I did find most of the book worth the time and interesting for those who cannot understand those who are depressed, but that little bit of dramatic woe is me angst bothered me.
