Character
Strong character development:
Yes
Loveable characters:
Yes
Diverse cast of characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
It was fast paced, emotional, shocking at moments.
I had no idea the book was going to take such a sharp turn with the grandmother dying and the mother falling in a coma. (The foreshadowing was there but the violence involved in all of it was shocking.
Loved the ending-- it was maybe too perfect but it is a YA book. The friendship between the two main characters was fun to read about.
