This is the one book where I loved the story but not the main characters (the unnamed narrator and Maxim). That being said, I admit I did feel pity for them both and all the other characters. They were all complex and seemed like real persons. While the heroine disgusted me at for the most part of the book - she believed the worst in everyone, spineless, could not even make the smallest decisions on her own - I still understood where she came from.

While I enjoyed the story, it took me over 300 pages to feel invested. I also found it hard to relate to any of the characters.

This is an odd book. Nothing really happens till you get to 70% of the book. If you have to plod through the main character being insecure and moany. But it you can survive that the last bit of the book almost makes it worth it.
