Henry Henry
by Allen Bratton
challenging
dark
emotional
reflective
sad
slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
Character
Strong character development:
No
Loveable characters:
No
Diverse cast of characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
The only way this is what it says on the tin is that two thirds of the characters are called Henry.
Otherwise, though this is a very good depiction of the affects of elitism, sexual assault and paranoid religion....this book is being sold as a contemporary romance.
The content would be so triggering in the wrong hands, so just know what you're picking up.
Other than that, honestly it was just so boring at points. It was well written but there was no conceivable plot or character introspection or development for large portions of the book and I struggled with that, particularly as it hadn't been what I thought I was picking up.
