  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
This was fucked up (on purpose obviously) and men suck. It was such an interesting concept of the point of view of 1) someone accused of sa and 2) someone who’s friends with that person. I think some of Margot’s revelations were really powerful because they had such a sad undertone. The writing was haunting and hypnotic and it was a really important read.
