The Pisces by Melissa Broder

dark reflective sad
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

2.5

i feel like i knew early on that i wasn’t going to like how this book turned out. usually i’m not opposed to unlikeable main characters, but she was completely awful in every way with basically zero redeeming or compelling qualities. i hated reading from her perspective and i especially hated how she treated dominic (the dog; spoiler
she ultimately neglects and kills him
).
did dominic really have to die in order for her to experience the tiniest shred of growth?
i don’t think so! clearly, this book is not for me.
