I haven't yet finished the book, but I'm ready to get it over with. I pretty much know how it's going to go, anyway. I wanted to like this book because I am a fan of the Pants series. This, however, was disappointing. The beginning was extremely slow, but I thought I'd give it a fair shake and push through. I should have known. First, let me say something positive: what I like about Brashare's style is that she doesn't fall back upon cliched metaphors & figurative language. She very well could - but she usually surprises you with a unique & unusual comparison which captures her meaning more clearly. Bravo to her for coming up with unique imagery. Now for the rest. Possible spoilers. I guessed the general idea of the plotline when Riley complained of a sore throat (Jim Henson came to mind). And, sure enough, I was right. But through the remaining journey, I was only frustrated by the ignorance of the characters. I have very little patience for characters who inflict self-torture because they refuse to tell the truth to loved ones. No sympathy for your stupidity. Additionally, Riley seems unbelievably selfish. She has quite a few people who care about her and love her, yet she chooses the road to destruction merely because she doesn't like being sick & mothered. She doesn't like being cooped up in a hospital (who does??) so she takes risks with her health and puts her life in jeopardy, all the while her family despairs because someone they love is recklessly choosing death, heedless of their love & devotion. Selfish, immature girl. When I wasn't angry at Riley, I was rolling my eyes at Paul's waxing poetic...strike that, waxing broody. And when Paul wasn't annoying me, I wanted to shake Alice, who was an annoying cliche: so beautiful - but she doesn't know it- in love with Childhood Friend Mr. Hunky-Hunk-Tortured-Rich-Boy, who she is meant to Save! I wondered sometimes if the relationship was born of an old fantasy by Ms. Brashares, who wanted to write a book she could live through vicariously. Problem was, she didn't really have a plot once the couple gets together, so she just slapped something together & called it a book. Overall, I was severely disappointed in this book. Many others seemed to like it, and it wasn't a hard read. But I would definitely recommend the Pants series - even to adults - before I would recommend this.
