WOW!!  Let me say first of all, I like a happy ending.  Even though you understand from the beginning that it's not going to be a happy ending, I still hoped all the way through that poor Alex would eventually find happiness.This is an over 900 page tragedy.  I have not cried so much while reading a book since "The Kite Runner."  If you have ever found yourself rooting for the underdog and/or if you have ever had a period of time in your life where you felt like nothing went right for you, you will like this book.  There was one point where I thought Layna and Alex would be able to help each other heal and I asked my self, "If Layna's brother hadn't ruin everything, could Alex and Rayna have been able to heal?"  It's hard to tell.  They were two such damaged souls.The author did an excellent job in getting inside the head of a paranoid, obsessive/compulsive individual.  You can almost feel the pain this person is in.  I liked the writing style of this author but he could have used just a little help from a proof readeer.
