Never the Roses by Jennifer K. Lambert
3.75
emotional reflective slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I was gonna give this book a solid 4 stars until the very end.When the main character blames herself for all the things that have gone wrong in the recent events of the book and that didn't make sense. She had left the car in order to find herself after decades of horror and slavery and Then blamed herself for the decisions Other people had made and that her absence apparently created which I did not agree with.

I also wasn't always sure how much time had passed.These characters are apparently long-lived and have lived for decades and done their work for decades.Whi like because I like reading about characters.That aren't twenty two but it sometimes wasn't clear when in the timeline we were.
