• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

5.0

A book for those who love the feeling of a mystery piecing itself together from a tantalizing fog of unknowns. An achingly unreliable narrator who you can’t help but love. 

I can already tell this is a book that’s going to live in my memory for years and years to come. I can’t wait to re-read it.
