Win Book Review
Sometimes, readers come across protagonists that they might not like right away. I’ve talked about this before with curmudgeon characters like Ove and Eleanor Oliphant, but let’s look at another type of person: the rich morally gray type. It’s self-explanatory, especially if they constantly remind the readers of how wealthy they really are. Some willContinue reading “Win Book Review”
