Too Close to the Falls by Catherine Gildiner

When you have no life, it's easy to get caught up in the lives of characters you read about or watch on tv or in the movies. Typically I find that I'm either mildly interested in a story or entirely obsessed. This falls into the entirely obsessed category. Not quite like a movie where I have memorized every line, but I have recommended this dozens of times and talk about it as much as I talk about March. If I grew up near Niagara Falls and my father was a pharmacist, this could very well be my biography. Precocious, hyper and delusional childhood in a nutshell! I read it when it first came out in 2000 and then again with a book club in 2006. Maybe someday I'll get over it, but until then, please read this book!
