  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

This is one of my favourite books ever. The way it's structured is difficult to grasp at first but once you've gotten into it it's a beautiful story told with humour and self awareness. The subject matter is of course, at times, sad, but the way it's navigated in this book is masterful.
