Query: A kid's idol, and adult's letdown

I wondered why there were 8 copies of this book at the used bookstore. As soon as I read it, though, I knew, becuase mine went right back there to be traded in for something good.Blume tried too hard with this book. I understand that in some cases, things like mothers turning abusive and going insane do occur, but the book didn't seem to capture my sympathies for the characters. I didn't care if the family got along, if the couple wound up together, I just wanted the book to be over.
