I wanted so bad to like this book, I've been looking at it for months to read. I had a hard time connecting with Lou the main character and wondered what was wrong with all of the other characters, too. I found myself sad when it came time to read thinking " do I really have to do this?" I don't like feeling that way about books. This book has some good qualities to it - I'm struggling right now to think of one. After reading this I can't fully say what it's about or what happened. Hopefully the author's next book will be better.
