  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

The ending of this book is haunting and heartbreaking. The prose was lovely and the concept behind the missing memories was well done, but overall it was much too heavy for my current mindset. Parts of the book were surreal and seemed disconnected, but this would have been a nice melancholy read at a different time in my life.
