I really wanted to like this book. I struggle with depression so I appreciate the story but I just couldn't find myself getting into it either.

This was a decent read. I had a difficult time reading it though because it reminded me too much of when I worked in the legal profession. Abusive lawyers, working constantly, etc., but it was a decent story overall.
