Bizarre, melodramatic soap opera

This book started well, but gradually sank into an unbelievable plot filled with odd and somewhat stereotyped characters. Lots of pop psychology with almost every character having some sort of dark, unresolved secret. I got three quarters of the way through and skimmed the rest as I was so irritated. Oh dear....
