Overall, this book was pretty underwhelming with no real point or message. The vast majority of it is focused on a flat, directionless romance and there is no form of class commentary nor exploration of complex relationships between interesting characters as one would expect per the premise. The motivations of the protagonist were shallow and pointless.
The only reason I’m giving this a slightly positive rating is because the actual writing and narrative style was good at balancing the protagonist’s thoughts and descriptions of the scenes. It kind of reminded me of the narration in “I Who Have Never Known Men.” It was very matter-of-fact and unemotional, which I found made it easy to get through the book which is why I didn’t DNF it.
