I quite liked the writting style of the book, I felt it helped convey the authors thoughts and emotions quite well however I found the characters flat and the book at some points sounding pretentious to me although the author also made many great qoutes and points throughout, you must also be aware of the time period typical sexism

I really enjoyed this book, I appreciate the message it was trying convey and I loved the writting style, the word choice of this book while being difficult at times really helped my understanding of the character and how it decreased in complexity in the middle and slightly raises again in the end.
