I started I'll Take You There over the summer, but have only recently been reading it with a purpose. I'm only about 25% of the way through it (thank you Kindle, for doing the math for me), but I'm very worried about what will happen in the remaining 75%.
It is about a young woman, who has yet to be named (?), that grew up in upstate New York. Both of her parents have died and she is attending college on scholarship. She was utterly devoted to intellectual activities her first year of school - she was the person who read and reread each assignment and all of the footnotes. Later, a young, pretty woman in her dorm befriended her and encouraged her to rush her sorority. Without thinking about what that would mean for her financially, she agreed to do so and got swept up in all of the attention she was getting, never quite understanding their motivations.
Now she is working lots of hours to help with money and is missing mixers and meetings for which she gets fined. She can't keep up. She's eating out of dumpsters and losing things and is unable to keep up with her schoolwork, which is so important to her. Only 25% of the way through, she is already circling in madness. And knowing JCO, it will only get worse from here!
Has anyone else here read this one? What did you think about it? Do I have a reason to be worried??

>1 neverlistless: I haven't but it sounds fascinating! I might have to dig around and find my copy.

Lois, I still haven't finished it, but I've gotten much further than I was when I first wrote this post. Things have improved tremendously, although the main character still lives a very sad and unfair existence. I'm definitely not as worried about her as I was!
