• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

I'd recommend looking up content warnings before reading OR just being aware that this book tackles some difficult stuff. However, the story is gripping and beautifully told. The narrator was wonderful as well.

The cover is deceiving. This is probably one of the most hopeless and depressing books I've ever read. Also highly recommend checking content warnings for this one.
