mariyakan 's review for:

Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout
3.5
challenging reflective sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Hated it at first because of how unlikeable the main character is, but I ended up enjoying it - Olive doesn’t really get more likeable but you end up having such a deep understanding of her character and her context that it becomes a very interesting read.
