Title: a sad use of talent
Product review: While I will admit that the author has talent, I cannot grasp what made this book appealing to previous reviewers. The best I can say for it is that I felt compelled to finish it, but I don't know if that is due to the book, or my personality. I found the book depressing, pointless, cliche. I had hoped to read an intersting view of adolescence--or at least a good story--this book encompassed neither. Instead I had the impression of reading a text of a young woman's fantasy of neurosis and sexuality, complete with clueless and inept parents. I realize this happens in life; I don't want to read about it if the author has no depth or twist or basic interest to add to the mix. Don't waste your time and money on this one.
