Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro

dark mysterious reflective sad slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character

4.25

Just finished it and thought I'd write down some of my thoughts before I read the opinions of others. It was a sad book, and it's sort of hopeful throughout the book, or at least like we are leading up to something, mainly because of the narrative style of the narrator reminiscing on her past and jumping around through interconnected events. As we move along the story coming closer to the present, you gradually learn more about the world and the truth. But it's sort of slipped in as if the reader should already know.  I really feel for the characters and this world, 

I was hoping they'd run away or something idk, I just wanted more for them. And In the beginning I wasn't the biggest fan of ruth because I could see what type of "toxic" friend she was, but then in part 3 she's just so "down" and the others gang up on her the way she would... Anyways, they deserved better!! Such a hopeless story, honestly I figured the deferral wasn't a thing.

Kathy did feel a bit weak too me though, she's the main character yet we get the least amount of personality.
