I hate the characters in this novel especially the narrator which I guess the author did a good job making you feel that way about it. The thing is, the narrator goes on tangents that I think are excessive and honestly hard to get through because they’re so long and at times unnecessary. The only good thing about this novel is epilogue it comes from Bella’s perspective and it essentially debunks everything the narrator says cause he has an inferiority complex and isn’t man enough to get over himself Would I say this novel is for me… no but I can have a glimpse of why people like it since it’s similar to the novel Lolita (to each their own I guess)
