dark emotional hopeful sad tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

I don't feel comfortable giving this book a star rating due to the nature of how it was written, however I will say all the writers did an amazing job. The stories all connect in an interesting way, and it paints a beautiful, if often tragic picture of life in a refugee camp.
