I am left with too many unanswered questions. How was this book supposed to make me feel - empathetic, sad, angry, hopeful? I have no idea. Pavla transforms continually but never finds herself. Her story is left incomplete. Also I agree with many of the reviews of this book that say Pavla and Danilo's stories were too separate. The main characters spent enough time apart that this read as two separate books. As a reader, I became used to Pavla's story but then she's absent for several chapters at a time. This ruins the continuity of the writing.



However, if you're someone who doesn't focus on plot but instead writing style and character development, you might enjoy this story. Also if you're a fan of fairytale retellings and dark stories like [b:The Complete Grimm's Fairy Tales|22917|The Complete Grimm's Fairy Tales|Jacob Grimm|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1369540060l/22917._SY75_.jpg|1855987], then "Little Nothing" is very similar.



This would be perfect for fans of [b:Coraline|17061|Coraline|Neil Gaiman|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1493497435l/17061._SY75_.jpg|2834844] and I wish it had been advertised that way so I knew what I was getting into. When it comes to character development, Pavla hardly changes her but Danilo grows into the role of a father and a lover. This change was beautifully written and one of the best things the story had going for it.
