4.0
also please note that my "good" and "bad" are OPINIONS and i do not claim to be right about everything. except when i talk about the raven cycle. you aren't allowed to disagree with me on those books. ever.
positives
- the style of writing. not too much waffling about random things and relatively easy to read, so i could finish it without major reading slumps.
- the pacing aka story progression. when i read pride&prejudice i was bored out of my mind, so thank god this was different.
- the message. this seems obvious, but the story itself actually did something. it really illustrated the problems of being stuck in the past and reaching for something you'll never have.
negatives
- f. scott fitzgerald. joking. (am i tho?)
- the covers. i chose this version because it was relatively demure. the original is the worst thing i could ever put in my bookshelf after those romance books which have naked real people or clothed drawn people without faces on the cover.
- the characters. i understand that some are purposefully kept flat or unlikeable, but i like having books where i'm rooting for someone and have a favourite character.
