The characters were all amazingly well developed, diverse, and relatable. I loved them all.
I think this story is better read than listened to because there are so many characters and smaller plots to follow that it did take more focus from me to really dive into the book and be excited about the mystery rather than confused. (definitely read the first chapter again once you're done with the book)
I took off .25 of a star because there are some points that I think McBride stuck into the novel that felt out of place. The first about cellphones in the future and the second about gun violence in America, also in the future. These are great topics that should be discussed but they felt out of place in this book. At least in the ways they were presented.
