I was frustrated with the choices she made while home and didn't feel like they were particularly in character (that being said, I think part of the point was that "in character" meant something different in NY than it did in Ireland, and something different again when she returned). I liked the NY parts better, but the return was definitely more complex than the rest of the book.
