A review by sostephe
The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy

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

2.5

Drew me in at first, with beautiful prose and rich dives into different characters’ lives. Then it lost me with too much stream-of-consciousness writing, which made the plot confusing, hurt my brain, and ended up diluting the impact of the climax 
Also, bruh, why the child sexual abuse and incest? Felt extremely unnecessary
