challenging emotional tense medium-paced

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

4.25

What a book! Once again Jenoff has written an excellent book! I could not believe the twists and turns at the end of the book! Really good writing and characters that are multi-dimensional! 

Edit: after thinking about this overnight, I do wish Jenoff had trimmed down the first part of the book a bit to include what happened

to Hannah afterwards. I'm still not sure I completely agree with Hannah's motives and it's conflicting to me how I feel about her character.
