such well written characters make it all feel heartbreakingly real. everyone is deeply flawed in horrible human ways yet somehow you still want to root for them. dense read, but sooo worth it.

I had a few false starts with the print version of this book, so I went ahead an listened to the audiobook. I did enjoy the twisty turns and how drama-ridden this book was. Overall, though, I don’t think it was for me. I am not really into books where characters wreck their own lives unnecessarily (ahem, Howard). I’m also unfamiliar with the source material, so that wasn’t a draw either. Oh well
