• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

Incredibly unpleasant to read and yet could not stop reading it. The slang was quite a challenge to overcome but now it feels like a second language, because of this, it's quite a rewarding book to finish. Also rewarding because the pain, suffering, and horribleness is over!!
