• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.25

I found this book odd. There was a lot of crude language which I found surprising especially in the chapters from the perspective of Marcus (a 12 year old). The characters were not likeable at all, but I still felt joy as they made progress in their lives.
