I understand Celestial to an extent....but she‘s borderline “meh” to me. I keep picking sides with Roy....about halfway thru. If you have read it, what‘s ur opinion of Celestial?

riversong153 She was a challenging character for me, but I didn‘t like Roy. He was sexist and acted like he owned her. I felt for them both because their situation was so complicated. 6y
TheBookKeepers @riversong153 Yes I totally get eeked by those character flaws of his too when they come out! 6y
keys_on_fire Both characters had moments where you understand why they chose their course of action, even if you didn‘t agree with it. Other times, you wanted to bonk them over the head with a frying pan. I think that‘s what makes this book so great; it shows that a marriage is a complex relationship and the decision to continue or dissolve it is never cut and dry, even if it looks like it on the surface 6y
