To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf
4.0
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This was hard to get into the rhythm of reading in the beginning, as it was my first foray into stream of consciousness writing. Once I got into it however, it was an immensely satisfying read and I'm so glad I continued with it. It soon became easy to grasp, Lily's perspective in particular was my favourite. 

I have to say that this definitely going to be a difficult one to give a rating to. The prose is beautiful and warrants 5 stars, but I think this needs a reread for me to get fully invested into the story.
