- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
4.0
Like its protagonist, this book peaked really early. The first few pages have some of the best portrayals of loneliness and city imagery that I have ever read. We then go on to follow the protagonist’s metamorphosis into full-blown incel. Luckily, the story is so short if finishes before it gets old.
