Title: Unbearably unrealistic
Review: I did not find one word of this book believable. What therapist writes session summaries in such a non-clinical fashion? Try as she might, Sparks fails to connect with young adults by using colloquialisms and outdated slang--apparently she still thinks kids use the same expressions and street terms she used for "Go Ask Alice" (a fake diary, I might add). She also favors cute nicknames using alliteration, and she over-uses italics and ALL CAPS to emphasize a point. It's virtually unreadable! I have been in therapy for depression with several different doctors. Depression is a serious illness with social stigma still attached to it. The author is doing a disservice to readers by trying to make her writing 'hip' and as a result trivializing real issues for teenagers today. At least the lawyers made her add the Epilogue (disclaimer).
