dark emotional reflective slow-paced

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

4.0

i enjoyed reading this! in my professor's words, it's a narrative of a man totally devoted to his own emotional experience, to the point of death. don't read it looking for a feminist romcom where the beloved matters as a human - enjoy the beautiful prose and psychological melodrama instead.
