Passing
by Nella Larsen
challenging
dark
mysterious
tense
slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
A mix
Strong character development:
No
Loveable characters:
No
Diverse cast of characters:
Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
As interesting as this book is, I just don't like any of the characters, and that makes it hard to like. Irene sucks, Clare sucks, Brian sucks, John Bellew sucks.
The writing, however, is super cool. The feeling of paranoia you get from being in Irene's mind is very uncomfortable to experience.
Also, Clare and Irene should've been lovers this book is SO queer coded.
