Review of 'The condition' on 'Goodreads'

Silly me. I thought this book was about a girl with Turners syndrome and how it affected her life while growing up.

Meh, it's really about family disfunction, hardly about the girl at all actually. And the family disfunction is so run of the mill mundane, who cares? Could have been an interesting read if the author would have concentrated on the girl with the condition. You know, getting through high school, boyfriends, lack thereof, psychological turmoil of being stuck forever in a child's body... But no.
