I really didn't care for this book. It reminded me of a strange indie film that you suffer through in disbelief that it isn't going to get any better. I knew from the very first paragraph that this was not for me. However, I persisted so I could complain about it to my book club. I kept waiting for something of consequence to happen or for one of the characters to develop a personality, or for some scrap of human emotion to be conveyed. For a book about depression, I did not feel that emotion come through strongly. Maybe a little sadness, but certainly not depression.
