 I really liked the writing style in this story, as well as the characterization. Winterbourne is a pretty flat character, at least I felt like he was, and felt like he was mostly written as a window into the story for the reader. Daisy however was very interesting, she truly just followed her heart and did whatever she wanted and whatever she enjoyed, which unfortunately didn't end well for her. It felt like a cautionary tale, but honestly I would rather live like Daisy than any of the other characters. Oh except Randolph, my man is amazing.
