dark
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
Character
Strong character development:
No
Loveable characters:
No
Diverse cast of characters:
Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
I love having my expectations subverted but THIS was almost a DNF. I think the amount of self-hate the narrator has for herself was a little too much to take. Yes it’s an authentic narrative but it was hard for me. None of the characters were even remotely someone you’d root for (and I love a good villain). The funniest part about it is that the author used a coma patient like Chekov’s gun 🤣
