Stacey’s overwhelming desire for communication and connection struck a chord with me. While I disagreed with many of her actions, the candid description of her thought process allowed me to sympathize. 

While I enjoyed this book, I definitely would not call it feel-good by any stretch of the imagination. Additionally, it had some of the most uncomfortable sex scenes I’ve ever encountered.
