2.0
The most anticlimactic novel I’ve ever read. It’s boring, poorly edited (terribly abrupt transitions/more telling than showing), and the characters have no depth. Too many subplots/conflicting plot lines. No chemistry between characters, little on-screen relationship development.
Graphic: Alcoholism, Cancer, Panic attacks/disorders, Vomit, and Medical trauma
