The characters are well drawn

I'm not interested in love.
An astonishing novel. Because of the widely circulated "I have no illusions about you," he said: "I know you are stupid, frivolous, and empty-minded, but I love you." The first half of the novel is indeed about love, while the second half is more philosophical, exploring the meaning of life, which truly corresponds to the title, the hypocritical and twisted human nature hidden under the veil, and the development of the plot is surprising enough and worth reading.
