adventurous emotional mysterious medium-paced

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

Great small town mystery from multiple pov and a non-obvious ending. Good, evocative writing, and nice treatment of teen characters. If I'm being picky, I'd point out a slight Hallmark movie vibe in the subplot of two people attracted to each other dealing with self-imposed rules of romantic engagement. But they are likeable and rounded characters, and this helps the reader get past any little artificiality.
