I adore literary fiction because I truly do not care if anything happens in a book. I’m so interested in characters and weird relationships that it doesn’t matter to me if the plot is lacking. The concept of the main character allows for the author to dig into situations and areas of human emotion/interaction that is harder to dig your heels into otherwise. It was a quick read, I was taken by the story enough to start and keep going until it stopped. A lot of people found this moving and impactful, but it was really missing that je ne sais quoi for me! I thought we would reach it in the end, but alas.
