The Goldfinch

Honestly, I have mixed feelings towards this book. For the first few chapters, I just loved it so much and thought It'll surely end up in my 4-star list if the quality is consistent, even after Theo went to Vegas his experiences with loneliness and guilt feeling about the painting and his mother seems very intriguing even though I hated the side characters like Boris, Theo's father and his father. But after the time skip Theo's lamenting about Pippa was so irritating to read oof, Theo's failures in his personal life and constant listless actions seemed so boring smh. Then Boris's ridiculous prank with The painting put cheery on top of my annoyance, the plot twist seemed so much force. (hide spoiler)]
So my overall rating is 3.75/3.5 ⭐ out of 5
