ragelbagel 's review for:

The Pessimists by Bethany Ball
3.5
emotional funny hopeful reflective slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This slice of life story following three couples of various backgrounds living in suburbia and their experiences (shared and unshared) was extremely thoughtful. Each character was unique and memorable but felt hard to differentiate. Maybe that was the point?
