  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

2.0

the writing was nice, but i just couldn’t get into the story and i couldn’t stand the characters and the plot felt a bit ridiculous. 

it seemed like nothing really happened in the story, and the reflection on relationships and what it means to love and be loved just felt so pretentiously pessimistic. 

maybe i’m missing the point of the book, but i don’t really see the hype.
