katharina90's review against another edition

emotional reflective slow-paced

• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes

3.0

This story has potential but lacks oomph. It scratches the surface of many interesting and complex topics, but none are explored in depth. 

The main character is immature and the rest are equally unlikeable.
