• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

pretty overrated. it was okay, and made me feel like shit (like its supposed to). i dont really know what i was expecting because i dont think any SANE person can enjoy this book because of how dark it is. still 3 stars cause i like the writing and the story
