Paradais by Fernanda Melchor
5.0
challenging dark sad fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This book was brutal but compelling. I liKed seeing the train of thoughts Polo had, and how unlikable he was as a character. You feel sorry for and despise him the entire time. An interesting critique of machismoism that I think works well for international audiences.
