challenging emotional reflective sad medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

The chances of relating to Jude on a personal level are close to none. But the sense of reality with which this book is written, makes it so easy to feel what these characters are feeling and are going through and that's what in my opinion makes this book so good.
