Strong character development: No

Loveable characters: Complicated

Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I was intrigued by this book, so I picked it up to give it a go. It's an interesting book, but I kept getting the feeling that I would appreciate it more if I was part of the original target audience. I could tell there was social commentary happening, and I could pick up on some of it, but I know a lot went over my head. The characters were very nuanced, and the actual plot was interesting. It just sort of missed for me.
