Passing by Nella Larsen

dark sad fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

1.5

An achingly predictable plot and a flat-falling ending (no pun intended) the background of the concept of passing seemed to only have a passing relation to the plot of the story, though it gets brought up a lot. A lot of miserable people and unsympathetic actions, at least it's a short read.
