Review: Completely Unrealistic
Rating: 1 out of 5

I only got through 14% of this book, and let me tell you why: its based in a fantasy land of weirdly manic emotions and just plain ridiculous plot devices.The heroine Jess goes from so depressed that she has a gun out to kill herself to ecstatic-about-life happy in a span of ONE DOCTOR'S VISIT. Yes, the news she received would make most anyone happy, but a person steeped in that much depression would take A LOT OF TIME to process the news they received. And DAYS, if not weeks, to get happy about it. This really pushed my buttons because it gives a totally unrealistic view of a very serious and real issue (suicide and depression). People that are seriously depressed don't turn their whole lives around in a hour and it is just plain stupid to put it out there that it could happen that way...even in a book.Also, marijuana is not now, nor has it ever been, an addictive drug. Don't call a person a drug addict if they smoke pot. They aren't. You have to be addicted to something for you to be an addict...common sense??Anyway, not worth the read. Even the free read.
