  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated

4.0

I will say that this is one of the first "grown up" books I read when I was young, so my rating might probably be affected by a lot of odd nostalgia. A lot of problematic elements, very much a book of its time.

originally rated this 4, lowered it to a 3 after some consideration. i think this story could've worked better if it felt like more thought had gone in to it i guess. still a really interesting read!
