• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

This book is of its time with 90s stereotypes and some references which would be almost unacceptable if written today - it definitely needs to be read with it's context in mind. Marian is great at writing flawed but likeable character, the lead here though is not likeable at all.
The plot is pleasant enough and it's an easy read.
