Flaws of characters a main focus:
Complicated
This book definitely has problematic elements. I mean I know its from the POV of young men but the description of the young women etc you can very much tell is written by a man who doesn't know women 😠That being said I couldn't put the book down tbh! It was interesting to realise that you never truly know the Lisbon girls' POV, you never truly know who they are apart from what has been observed. Its a very tragic story.
