Vague Pains

I was really interested in both of these rather philosophical main characters: Henry Beale, a young man who's pretty much grown up in and out of hospitals, and Dr. Tess Sloan. It's intriguing the way each of them deals cerebrally with their own parental turmoil - Henry with the memory of his passive father, and Tess struggling in the shadow of her influential mother. Having grown up in a suburb of Detroit very similar to the setting here, I felt Lemon did a great job setting the scenes and creating these characters, and I was eager to see how Henry and Tess would interact... and then, quite suddenly I felt, came the Epilogue.

Thought provoking book. Great interaction between the main three characters at some point in the book. Some may see themselves or others that they know. Kept your interest. I would like to know more about the characters so if there was another book written, I for one would read it as soon as it became available to me. Thanks to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for the ARC of this book in return for my honest review.
