I give up. I'm too mentally exhausted; not from the feels, but from endurance. I was bored. So much that I really don't want to discuss this book because it's already taken up too much of my time. 
 I like that this deals with mental illness and sensitive topics like alcohol abuse... but there is not much appeal beyond that (at least for me - it's hard when you don't connect with the cast). I don't get why every character was so interested in their relationship?? And why was the uncle all like, "I don't approve of my nephew dating an ex con, even though I was the one who basically set them up" ...? 
 Eh, I tried. Sorry. That's all you'll get for a review. I need a nap.
