• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.5

The first part of the book was good but the second half of it was really boring. I didn't care about the characters at all and there was too many mentions of what people's accents were like, which was completely unnecessary.

"I do think it's one's responsability to wring every ounce of sensation out of life, don't you? Otherwise, without that, it's just a short, nasty, and brutal interlude until death"

 

"We all have demons inside us, voices that whisper we're no good, that if we don't make this promotion or ace that exam we'll reveal to the world exactly what kind of worthless sacks of skin and sinew we really are. Maybe that's true. Maybe mine just have louder voices"

"Now almost always is the right time. What feels like prudence is almost invariably cowardice"
