1.5
An achingly predictable plot and a flat-falling ending (no pun intended) the background of the concept of passing seemed to only have a passing relation to the plot of the story, though it gets brought up a lot. A lot of miserable people and unsympathetic actions, at least it's a short read.
Moderate: Death and Murder
Minor: Infidelity
