A review by frankie_s
Like Being Killed by Ellen Miller

challenging dark emotional sad slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

5.0

This should be widely studied, should have a dozen reprints, should have made her as famous as Bret Easton Ellis.
