This is the first book by Karen White that I have read and I was very mixed. I love that the book portrayed an accurate (or at least what I imagine to be accurate) depiction of bipolar disease. This novel had all the trappings of something that could have been really great -- fantastic descriptions of the ocean (packed with metaphors), dysfunctional family relationships, and (at least for the first 30 pages) a rather suspenseful and well written foreshadowing of a drastic and tragic event. But Miller underestimates her reader -- her ending is way too obvious (ie. she gives the readers way too much information early on), making the ending extremely disappointing.
