Double Billing

On the one hand, this book totally fulfilled it's purpose: free ebook that was handy on my smart phone for reading while pumping. On the other hand, it wasn't good for much else. It was clearly self-published, in that it wanted desperately for an editor: characters names changes (Sandra Klee Mason was Sandra Mason Klee in every other chapter); there were factual errors (as someone who lives on South 45th St, I can tell you that there's no West 45th St in Philadelphia and anything east of about 50th street no longer has the West Philadelphia connotation that Dr. Miller seemed to be going for, anyway.) But even putting that aside, the book was both oddly shallow and simultaneously, obviously written by a psychiatrist, rife with psychoanalysis of every character's motivations. The plot was very thin and very predictable, although some threads (such as bone marrow transplant) were dropped never to be heard from again.
