4.0
The story is one of passion found, love lost, where we witness people drifting in and out. It is one that does not shy away from mistakes, from the lies we tell each other, and most importantly, the ones we tell ourselves. This book’s main strength is its characters, specifically the main protagonist, and the journey she goes on to discover herself.
What I especially liked, in terms of the intersection between characters and plot, was the way the novel continued after the ‘climax’ of the story. It doesn’t offer off a neat resolution. It respects human’s inabilities, limitations, and failures. And for this, we keep reading, because I think in this second half is where Legters shines.
It is in these pages where I see the main departure point from some classics that this novel echoes, such as Lady Chatterly’s Lover and The Awakening. This is where I see the fruition of all the little mentions and clues from before, and the space is afforded to the characters for them to take up the reins of their destiny, even the side ones.
