Title: Great book, but...
Review: I became enthralled with this book until the last 20 pages. I feel like the author took the easy way out in concluding the story. I had no idea how she would be able to sum up the story in the remainder of the book (the book brings up such large, complex, and important issues...especially related to parenting) and I was let-down in the end.But, overall, the book got me thinking hard and reevaluating my relationship with my young daughter. I wondered what I'd do as a parent in different situations raised in the book. You think you feel one way, and then the author brings up a complication that makes you reexamine your views.My husband's co-workers did not like the book because they said it was too depressing to read. However, I think that instead of being depressing, it is a great study in the enormous complexity of being a parent.I would give it 5 stars, except for the ending. Very fast read.
