A mix

Yes

Diverse cast of characters:
Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Complicated
EERILY REALISTIC. this book had me kicking, screaming, crying, and throwing up because Butler is TOO spot on with our current political and social climate. i was wondering what she would think of the parallels between her book and the reality of today, so of course i look her up and i didn’t know she had passed in 2006! now i’m convinced the government did it and i’m not okay!
