emotional reflective sad slow-paced

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

4.5

Based on the synopsis I was expecting this book to be a lot heavier than it was. It is definitely sad and deals with a lot of heavy topics. But so much of the book is spent developing Cameron as a character and how she relates to the world, despite being vastly different from myself I found her deeply relatable and loveable. Despite dealing with quite heavy subject matter it is almost compulsively readable and I found myself sad at the end to say goodbye to Cameron.
