This book could have gotten a 3; it wasn't a bad book. But, I am so sick of the main character being so pathetic in most books. Emotionally screwy? Sure, no problem. But the descriptions of the character's inability to actually wash a load of laundry in this book really got to me, as did the descriptions of how disgusting her house was. I am not an overly clean person, but the descriptions here grossed me out. I like a character who has issues, but isn't a completely pathetic mess. And I really can't understand how she supposedly had a crush on one guy for 7 or so years, and her best friend never had a clue? Seriously; there were some things I just couldn't accept in this book, and they made it hard to believe any of the others. It was very inconsistent, and was only saved from one star by the dog.
