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

5.0

A heartbreaking, gut-wrenching, wringer of a novella. There is touching nostalgic beauty, sincere family moments, incredibly sad things, and simply and undeniably astute commentary about what it means to be good.
