I enjoyed this strange, sometimes fascinating book. The characters were well written, if some were a little off. I felt poor Izzy was completely misunderstood, I think her family treated her like an unloved dog. Her mom was supposedly worried about her and that’s why she treated her differently. I’m not so sure of that. My middle son had/has health issues and I worried and still worry like crazy, but I don’t treat him unkindly because of it. Good book overall.
