• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.75

I enjoyed a lot of what this book was telling me, but I thought it went much too fast losing some of the character development and I thought there were some stereotypes of gay and latin people throughout that made me enjoy the book less.
