I really wanted this book to wow me, but it didn't. It was a nice story, I did enjoy it enough to finish it in 2 days. It did get me thinking about my own past and what I woud want to change. But I never felt connected to anything in the story. Maybe that's not the fault of the story, maybe I am just not able to connect to a father-daughter story due to my own past. I'm not sure.

I can say, however, that I was very turned off by the New York City wank. I understand that NYC people love NYC and love to tell you about NYC. But at LEAST 20 pages of this book are just never-ending descriptions of NYC locations and specific lists of street names. None of which make any difference to the story at all. Absolutely unnecessary.
