It’s well written and intriguing, and the overarching plot is one of character development, which I like. On the other hand, a lot of the characters weren’t great people, which made it hard to root for them. Even the main character wasn’t very likeable (that was kind of the point, but it doesn’t help when everybody else also sucks). I just didn’t really root for the main relationship cause neither partner was a good or likeable person.
