I was not a fan of this book. It was about an optimistic woman living in her high school glory days, oblivious to the less happy realities around her. Then given 'clarity', she begins to see visions of some of the less delightful things in her 'perfect life'. I disliked the book throughout the majority of it, but stuck it out for the end, which was the only part I enjoyed, so I suppose there is that. I did not like the woman's voice/attitude throughout the book and her lack of awareness or ability to work through her issues without being a raging b**** or a complete mess, especially because she was supposed to be a guidance counselor/therapist. glad I checked this out at the library, I would have been seriously irritated if I spent $24+ for the hardcover. not worth it
