3.0

3 stars for the beautiful writing, but I also kinda wish I'd never picked this book up. It is a shockingly tragic story, a raw and gut-wrenching tale of the human tendency to preserve pride at any and all costs. Although I despised all the characters for different reasons, the writing somehow kept me interested in their fates.
