The Clinic

3.5 rounded up. While it was an enjoyable read overall, this had its ups and downs. While fiction of course doesn't have to be plausible to be an enjoyable read, there is just something about the topic of addiction and rehab being portrayed as somewhat sci-fi that limits the ways the story can be spun. Maybe this is why this felt almost too close to “Nine Perfect Strangers” in some ways. The differences were enough to make it a good “beach read” but it was not quite as intriguing as I wanted it to be and lost me in a couple of places, but then it picked up again, so in the end it was still good read.
