Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Took me a while to click with the writing style but when I finally understood what they were going for, this book really flew by. Honestly very depressing. The ending has some hope, but if you have a complicated family dynamic, this is gonna be a tough read. Very unique and captivating writing style!
