dark medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

 I don't know if it's because I listened to the Audio, or I just wasn't crazy about the book. The male narrator sounds like Willem Dafoe - If you don't know who that is look him up and it will make sense - and I just could not get his face out of my head as I listened to the book. The break ups of the chapters were really annoying especially because it wasn't dual narrative, and some chapters were really long and some really short. The story itself was ok, the possessiveness occurred so quickly that I don't think I got any character development really. If you like mobster possessive grumpy old man, then this book would be for you, it's just not my cup of tea and that's ok
