 Here is the Beehive is proof that you can very much enjoy the reading experience while not liking the main character. Ana is a lawyer who is grieving the death of her lover, Connor. But they were both married and the affair was secret so she cannot publicly mourn him. Her involvement in his legal affairs - executor of his will - and her insinuation of herself into the life of his widow and their children are clearly not to be approved. Yet the writing was beautiful, capturing her grief and isolation, while highlighting the fact that the relationship was not exactly what Ana wanted it to be.
