splitdice 's review for:

Held by Anne Michaels
3.5
hopeful reflective sad slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

there were parts i liked (allen and mara and peter almost made me cry) but I feel like the novel was too loose and too messy in terms of it's themeing. I think a narrower scope could've really solidified this
