challenging dark tense medium-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

3.5

literally what was the point of the present day chapters? would have been better if it just stayed in 1969 and fleshed out the end a bit more
