• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

This is a solid read, with a great premise and an open-ended ending. However, the revenge part lacked feeling and meaning that the whole journey for 'Lydia' was for nothing. 
  
Very much The Talented Mr Ripley meets revenge.
