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

1.5

The book is basically trauma porn. Every trauma you could think of happens to the main characters, but they're so flat that the events don't have emotional impact.
