emotional mysterious tense slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
first half was really good, second half was really boring. and yet i couldn't put i down. but it could have been 200 pages shorter. there was so much character introspection and yet their feelings still seemed to change at random. 
i feel like after the murder it could have been really good but it was just boring. and i knew it would probably end well for the characters, but i feel like it was way too easy for them. they just lied their way out of it with no consequences. and nothing actually happened after the murder. just a lot of investigation and no action.

THAT SAID, i liked it.
