rovingreader 's review for:

Like a House on Fire by Lauren McBrayer
3.25
tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

I have to be honest, that I wanted to DNF this book initially. I was not a fan of the characters in a way that interfered with me enjoying the book. That said, things changed about halfway through when the characters seemed to mellow out a bit and became slightly more likable. I enjoyed demisexual representation in the book although it was never explicitly labeled. Overall, it was an okay read.
