The Smash-Up by Ali Benjamin
2.5
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Really wasn't a fan of this book that felt like it was trying too hard. I might have enjoyed it more if I'd read the original Wharton novella but to me it felt disjointed with every single one of the characters unlikeable.

I didn't have any real issue with the writing style, per se, in fact it was quite a clever way to get us to ponder just what is going on in the world at the minute, but I didn't feel a connection
