No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
I sped through this book in a matter of hours. I absolutely loved way Harriet's complicated, traumatic life revealed itself. She took a hard look at herself and didn't sugarcoat all she had done and what she was. It was unflinching and admirable, and I'd like to read more prose with characters like that.
The cheesy writing style with the game show feel and the second-person point-of-view wasn't a huge distraction. The back-and-forth timeline isn't my favorite, but it worked out. I didn't even mind the strange storyline of Bernard's. But that ending. No. Hated it.
99% of the book gets a 4. The ending gets a 2. Boo.
