I am sorry if you were forced to read this like me. If you enjoyed it: good for you, if you suffered like me: I feel you.
I just can't see why anybody would like Faber or this story. I've read books before, where you weren't supposed to like the mc but at least they had a personality, charcter development and a compelling story. All things i miss here.
And the pace is just sooooo slow...

It's well written but I despise the main character. Also Hanna deserved better!
