INTRO:.
The setting of the novel is in this modern years, I would say that all that happened last year. The physical location is hard to explain because Serrie used to be in different places, sometimes she was in Nova Scotia, in the street, in London and she had so many memory loops, that made the story confuse and difficult to understand. The setting was very important to this novel because that helps you to understand it better, I mean, you can detect the character's feelings easier if you now where they are setting.
The protagonist in the novel is Seraphina Sullivan, but everybody called her Serrie. She is like a gothic girl with a strange way of dressing, with an undefined personality and a lot of problems. I don't like this person because she is weird, she doesn't know herself and she doesn't know want she wants.
In this novel you cannot see the antagonist as a person because Serrie never had big problems with the other people, she had problems with herself and with the alcoholism, so that's why I would say that her biggest problem to resolve (the antagonist) would be the alcoholism and her memory loops that sometimes prejudiced her. .
The author introduced the characters abruptly and made the story confuse. The first thing that the reader learn about the main characters is their personality, you don't have to read a lot to learn how the characters are and how they thing.
