DNF’d halfway through but had to mark as finished because it’s part of a Reading Challenge.

I just didn’t like these characters at all. Roy is old fashioned to the point I had to check what decade the book is based in because of his views on women and marriage. 

Dre is the standard “nice guy” who has faked a friendship with a women who he actually wants to be with and feels like he has a right to her because of this.

But Celestial is the worst, she is self-centred and the result of raising a spoilt brat for a child. A person she loves is wrongfully convicted and sent to prison and she just walks away. It all of a sudden became too inconvenient for her, and how and when she tells Roy this is just awful.

I think the main thing about all of this that put me off is that I don’t think the author intended them to be such unlikeable characters. I think the idea is that we connect and empathise with them.

But I hated them, I hated what  Celestial and Dre where doing and I’d had enough so DNF’d
