I have to say I just don't understand the popularity of this book. I loved the first chapter, but as soon as I started reading about the character of Jack, I was totally turned off. I could never believe his relationship with Stuart, and he was such an unsympathetic character. And yet, I must give the author credit that she made me at least want to read more, even when I didn't like the story. I was also disappointed that there seemed to be issues with time in the story. It seemed like more time had passed than what the story said, or vice versa. And there were several editing problems with my copy. ( )

This book was just ok. Very sad story of a disfunctional family touched by suicide and aids ( )
