  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated

  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

5.0

I loved this book! At first, I thought the sheer amount of Shakespearean dialogue would be too much and would bother me (sometimes when people reference anything Shakespeare related it's done in an extremely boring way) but I found that it really flowed so well and probably would have been weird without it.

It was a real page turner and I felt like I was the detective there listening to Oliver's story. An emotional and harrowing read.
