The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah

dark emotional hopeful sad tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

This felt like tragedy voyeurism. Too much sadness and disaster and the lighthearted parts are breezed over. The reader is told the characters make good instead of being shown and everything is just magically fine at the end.
