I wasn't thrilled about this pick for bookclub, but I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. It is written in a unique style that made for easy reading. The subject matter is difficult, but I felt it gave just the right amount of information so you could understand the situations without overwhelming the reader with medical terminology or complex diagnoses. I did not feel that the book was too heavy, mostly because of the underlying support and love story. It gave me tremendous insight into a topic I thought I "knew" about. As a mom with teen/young adult daughters, I would recommend this to other moms and teachers of this age group. Very insightful!
