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

3.5

The themes of plagiarism, publishing and racism were captivating but unfortunately the main character was so unlovable I found it hard to get through.  I hope for more character development but she stayed selfish and immature throughout. The plot made me want to know the ending, but the characters made that difficult.
