I'll Never Be Young Again by Daphne du Maurier
4.5
challenging reflective medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Daphne DuMaurier does not disappoint. I do struggle to see it as a "romance" though. She has absolutely perfected the telling of a man baby/doormat relationship. Much like Wuthering Heights, the characters are childish, petty, and flawed. Loved it but unlikely to reread as it is painful but in an intentional sort of way.
