Disappointed
Well, we are barely into the year and I have to admit defeat for the first time. Book 4 wasn't for me. The plot sounded great, the writing was very engaging, and I was drawn into the story almost immediately. I made it 200 pages in before I realized that I couldn't finish this book. The suicidal tendencies of one of the main characters didn't become a focus of the book until that point. And since part of it was written from her point of view, including her feelings when she failed to accomplish suicide, it was too much for me to personally bear. I'm saddened to say that I did not finish book 4.

Good for you for being willing to call it quits. I know I say that this forces me not to give up on a book. But, that book was dealing with a difficult topic to begin with let alone the history you now have with it. You were right to say forget it. It's not what you need right now!
