- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
3.25
I found huge pockets of this book to be unfathomably boring, and then suddenly hugely interesting. I think a lot of the writing is sort of inaccessible and a little dense. Then it is captivating and very moving.
I thought the ending would deliver something more powerful, but
Idk. Kind of boring overall.
Moderate: Animal cruelty, Violence, Chronic illness, Alcoholism, Dementia, Colonisation, War, Body horror, Misogyny, Suicide, Death, and Medical content
