This story is one that will stay with you for a long time after you have finished reading it. The original story telling, in-depth, complex characters and woven story make this book an intense read. For those of us who have ever been in a passionate and yet confusing relationship this book makes an enjoyable but more so, interesting story. To have experienced (or to be able to understand) mental illness would be an advantage before taking on the task of this sad (albeit sometimes uplifting) tale. The time-line is important, relating it to real life is important and to learn from it is a must. This book is indeed a learning curve (about life, love and the human state) and is packed full of every emotion (if you allow yourself, you can get quite attached to characters). There are underlying currents in this story (as well as some mildy boring bits - but stick with it) and when you read the last page I am sure you'll want to go back and read the start again! That's the sign of a good book - and if it's your cup of tea, then it's well worth the read.

This is a love story with a lot of twists - most of which you don't see coming. Sadness fills this book yet there's comedy at random intervals. I couldn't stop reading it because i constantly wanted to know what happened between Rebecca and James. A capturing read.
