Resumen del Editor

Gracelyn Adams just thought she was depressed. After months of feeling blue and losing her friends, one by one, she is at her wits end dealing with the nonstop soul-crushing despair she feels every day. Even though she knows there is nothing at all to feel sad about.

Her job is going well, her life is on track, but things go from bad to worse when she begins having "episodes" at night.

Then, he shows up. Inside her bedroom, in her locked apartment, on the 12th floor. Has Gracelyn gone completely off the deep end? Or, does this stranger hold all the answers to unlock this prison of sadness she's been living in?

Engaging book with poor narration

The book itself is captivating. The main character is easy to relate to and Timbers descriptions of emotions are very real. The plot moves along smoothly and at a fantastic rate.

The narration almost made me give up the book. Samantha sounds as if she is reading the sentences for the first time, her inflection often times sounds as though she is finishing a sentence in the middle, and then starting a new one, which makes me think she thought the sentence was over when it was not. I do not mean at a comma, I mean right smack in the middle of a thought. She also frequently emotes the characters voices in a way that contradicts the emotion in the text. I also really felt the lilt of the voice did not match the character, it seemed very preppy for a very not preppy character.
