*for tut
didn't enjoy MOST of the novel in terms of its plot/characters, but i can appreciate its frank discussions on sex, mental health, childbearing, etc. especially for the time. 
that being said, the last chapter (14) made this entire journey worth it. the group finally comes together and things are revealed about certain characters that somewhat tie things together. if you're willing to wait 250 pages for this ending, i recommend reading.
