The Imperfects
Review:
…I was both happy and sad with the ending of this book; it was exactly what I wanted. I was invested in the family, not the jewels, although I would have liked for them to end up in a museum. I wish there was a little more to the ending, but the story about the movie was clearly beautiful and an elegant way to end the story. I wish that there were fewer perspectives and more cohesive chapters because the formatting of the book almost felt like a textbook, and it just made it hard to keep going and actually read the book. All of that leads me to not actually get into the book. It was so hard for me to relate to the characters and their decisions. I couldn’t understand why they would do something or what one earth they were thinking. I felt like I knew the characters throughout the book but could not understand them. It was just hard for me to sympathize with their actions. This just wasn’t my kind of book, but it was a good book in its own way, mainly in the stories about Flora and Helen like I feel Iike that would have made the best story.
