sarahyjackson's review against another edition

emotional informative reflective slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

A re-read outside the classroom for a book club. Look, certainly parts of the text should be and are criticized. But I marveled still about the questions Lawrence puts to his readers about self, partnership, class, and more. 

<Also, it is a profoundly unique experience to read a romance book in which the leads are not very likable.>
