★☆☆☆☆
Totally overhyped!
Given all the great reviews, I was amazed to find this book to be so poorly written, with a plot that has a completely unconvincing ending, and characters with little depth or interest to the reader. Worst of all, the teacherly and superficial handling of the psychotherapeutic approach and relationships in this story reveal a writer who seems to have learned about psychotherapy by reading about it on wikipedia as he was writing this book. As you can probably tell, I really did not like this novel.
