Hawk Mountain by Conner Habib

dark emotional sad tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No

3.0

You could tell that the girls/women were written by a man. They were extremely one dimensional. And Anna's reaction to being slut shamed in highschool (which is something pretty much all girl will face in highschool) wasn't it

Todd being such a doormat was often frustrating, but it redeem itself just before part 2 and after part 2
