Why I even bothered to finish this book is beyond my understanding- what a horrid piece of endless whining it was. After only a couple of chapters, I grew disgustingly irate with the two main characters and their incessant need to be imporatant. Nothing left me with the "bittersweet" feeling a few reviewers described they felt, and I could honestly care less for the ending. Over a month of my life that I will never get back, don't bother to pick up this book. Don't even look at it.
