Charming Young Man by Eliot Schrefer
2.0
emotional informative reflective sad fast-paced

Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I think this book solidified that I don't like historical fiction books that are so directly about a real person from history. I prefer fictional characters in a historical setting- that prevents the story from feeling too confined to the bounds of what actually happened historically. I'll just read nonfiction if I want to know more about a real historical figure.
