informative reflective slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

2.0

I regret that I found this book unbearably boring. It did not keep me engaged and I found my mind wandering often. The characters felt real, but I couldn't bring myself to love them, so I wasn't particularly interested in what happened to them. Ah well, can't win them all.
