dark emotional mysterious tense medium-paced

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

2.75

I didn't care for the narrator's voice or how she dramatized certain chapters. It made the main character unlikeable to an extent.
