madisonmc 's review for:

The Promise by Damon Galgut
4.0
challenging emotional medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Obsessed with this writing style and the powerful, layered story line was stunning. Unfair, unjust and hard to read at times, but forever moving forwards.

The only reason this isn't five stars is because I didn't feel anything deeply for the characters, the meaning behind the messages yes, but not the individuals themselves. Perhaps the point.
