sydboll 's review for:

Goldilocks by L.R. Lam
adventurous dark mysterious medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I had such a hard time with this one. I wanted to like it SO MUCH, but it seems to do so much postulating and not a lot of actual character or plot development. This book is so hard to enjoy because the "plot" mostly revolves around these philosophical thought experimets... and it gets dry after a while. I appreciated that the author wanted to write a feminist book with feminist themes, but I feel like this book was more #girlboss and lacked substance.
