• Strong character development? Yes

• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

The twists in the book weren't exactly unpredictable... there were a couple I didnt see coming. The plot was interesting, the way it intertwined, but I felt like the story could have focused more on fleshing out the side characters than what type of wines they drank.

A very interesting twist, I guess I should say twists. Enjoyed how it was split into parts and something new was revealed/focused on each time.
