Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated
Firstly, I feel like this book was directed at a younger audience. The writing was a bit rushed and rather simple. The story has a very good message, but there were also parts that felt a bit forced. Another part I hated was that there are so many scenes where the main character doesn’t stick up for herself, and just complied with what everyone else tells her. It just keeps happening. But I really like the message it sent about Marin and Bex. I think a lot of people need to hear it, and that no matter what Marin did, it was still his fault, not hers.
