Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes

I quite enjoyed this. Its definitely YA. Good to see a content warning at the very beginning for EDs but probably need extras as deals with a number of very heavy topics . 
Characters were likeable and they didn't feel too overdone. The story had enough world building to understand the plot and it felt like it was the first in a series. 
It was written is a fairly light way considering how dark some of the themes were. 

I enjoyed the first half more than the second. The second felt a bit disconnected from the first.
