Review: Only part 1, so if you like, you'll have to buy parts 2 & 3

This book was okay, but nothing I would recommend to sophisticated readers and friends. It's sad to think a boyfriend of seven years who fails to propose to his super organized girlfriend could make her suicidal. Being sad: understandable. Being suicidal: deep psychological issues. And donating organs for when she does commit hari-kari! Maybe this hit me wrong since my granddaughter is a transplant recipient and we became acutely aware of the seriousness surrounding those awaiting organ transplants. "We found a heart for your beloved. Ooops, never mind. Donor waffling." And I know this is wrongful thinking, but as I read this novel, I wanted to find Emily and take her out of her misery so her body parts could be given to more sensible humans. I also prefer a stronger female lead or a weak one who grows, finds strength and redemption.Please don't take my word that the writing is sophomoric and felt super slow in various areas. Others readers loved it, so I could be wrong. But readers should be forewarned this in not a complete part 1 as it stops smack in the middle, leaving readers hanging. So, you must buy two more books to get an ending. This isn't a trilogy which at least leaves you with a certain ending and wanting more, it's simply a way to sell the first part of a three part novel. If you enjoy paying for books a section at a time for more money total than you'd pay for one entire book, go for it. Smart marketing when the author finds people who actually like the first part enough to dole out cash for the next two.
