Strong character development:
Yes
Loveable characters:
Yes
Diverse cast of characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
Deeply flawed characters across the board. Everyone is cheating . Nearly EVERYONE.
Interesting, well placed literary references. A plot that matches the literary references by never quite nailing the point on the head, just letting the plot speak for itself.
Found myself rooting for thecheating ex at one point, which was strange; but very effective.
I just felt like in the end I read a story about rich people being upset though. The only relatable character is the main one, in the sense that she’s an unsuccessful professor and wants to kill herself, but even she can afford to buy a $500 dress and spend four nights at a $900 a night resort. Everyone else is filthy rich. They’re all deeply in denial of their and other’s feelings and situations.
Maybe this was an ode to Victorian era writing, all the overthinking and small gestures on really rich people with nothing to lose. They really did march into that hotel and leave the hotel with nothing lost.
