Sick Girl
by Amy Silverstein
I'm surprised that you gave it 1 star. I know she bothered you but you couldn't put the book down, right? Don't you think that's worth more than 1 star! :)
No, I actually didn't finish it. She just irritated me so much that I had to close the book and walk away!
I agree. I find her so selfish and unpleasant that I'm having trouble getting through this book even though the story itself is interesting. If these same events happened to someone with an ounce of humility or a good sense of humor it would be so much better.

I was under the impression (from reading the back cover) that this is a woman who has become embittered over time. That 17 years of living with severe health problems has made her a "difficult patient." Not so. On her very first hospital stay she fights with the nurse who is trying to give her an IV and says "(expletive) you" to her. She started out a nasty woman, and I don't care to read any more about how she abuses her husband, father and step-mother, and punishes them for her misfortune. She feels no guilt over how she treats people who love her and the doctors and nurses who just want to help her. I felt like slapping her.
