Land of Milk and Honey by C Pam Zhang

reflective medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Character

Strong character development: Complicated

Loveable characters: No

Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I was excited going into this cause I thought it was a pretty interesting premise, but I found it very disappointing. It feels like it’s building towards a theme or message, but the experiences of the main character are never meaningfully dissected, or reflected upon. The ending is especially bad, but overall, it’s just messy.
