Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Contrary to how popular this book is... I don't like it. 
I don't think that this is for me.
It's not because of the explicit language but I just don't like how it jump from one side story to another with too much detail eventhough it all make sense eventually.
I struggled to finish this book, I had to push myself to not just abbandon it.
I felt nothing except for nauseous from all the incest and disgusting sex between the in law and also the rape. ESPECIALLY THE RAPE. AND THE GROOMING. If you love female sexual abuse, this book has all of it. The only interesting part for me is only the history part.
