The Wonder by Emma Donoghue

dark emotional mysterious reflective sad tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

5.0

Donoghue somehow manages to write some of the most fucked up things I've ever read without writing in the horror genre.
