dark sad medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

I preferred the author's memoir instead. This is auto fiction but it has none of the triumph of the memoir, only the most upsetting depressing content.
