I don’t find Maggie particularly sympathetic, which I think made it difficult to stay invested in. I understand she’s not supposed to be likable, she’s supposed to be human, but I think something about her voice turned me off. Some lovely passages of writing and very quotable moments but I think the overall idea got old about 3/4 before the end.
