cleotheo's review against another edition

emotional medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

2.75

The ending makes me think that it is not meant to be read as a standalone. 
I listened to the audiobook on 2x speed, otherwise I would not have made it through. 
I picked it randomly from my library without knowledge or thought. I don't think it's written particularly skillfully or stands out to me (except for the ending which surprised me as a choice though not written with much surprise in the sense of suspense). It's just not for me. 
But if you knowingly choose this, I can see how fans of this kind of book will enjoy it.
