This book is about a dysfunctional Rotary exchange student from Australia in the USA. It shows her self-obsessed decline into drugs and promiscuity. She appears to have few redeeming features, despite being super intelligent. The author does a quick bail-out on the main premise of the story in the last few pages. It’s as though the author herself got sick of the character. Don’t waste your time.
