I mean, I understood that she was obsessed with this guy, and had obviously completely gone over the deep end because of him but, I still could not find the ability to like the character.  Maybe I wasn’t supposed to be able to? I’m not quite sure honestly but, I do know that the fact that I could even empathize with her a little bit left me a bit disconcerted. I wasn’t able to empathize with her in the manner that I wanted especially with the way that she started abusing her prescription medications and was abandoning her family and other responsibilities. Yet even with this, I found myself disappointed when I could not find the ability to like the character of Sally at all.
The journal entries really give you a glimpse into the mind of someone who is completely obsessed and who has lost themselves over another human being.  They were very interesting to read. She can’t imagine her life without him and she both blames him for this and at the same time cannot help wanting him back.
We get to read all about these going-ons in her daily journal, which was one of the only ideas she really took from her therapist, and we quickly get to see how Sally takes “crazy†to a whole new level.  Her journal is written as a series of letters to Clive about her feelings, her actions, and her new found relationships with other members of his family and how she has been dealing with things since he ended their relationship.  They are very intense entries! Sally rarely leaves any details out as she admits that she doesn’t know who she is without Clive.
