Plus half a star, I think. An interesting analysis of human nature and relationships. I couldn't believe how long it took someone (and it ended up being Ethan, of course) to point out the utter hypocrisy in Ash's support of her brother, and it passed a a little too quickly to be totally satisfying for me, but at least it happened. Also in the vein of The Cookbook Collector, Freedom, and The Corrections. Is it just a coincidence that I'm coming across so many of these one after the other?
