• Plot- or character-driven? Character

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

4.5

A very emotional book. Told almost completely from the perspectives of people surrounding the main character.  It brings some empathy and awareness to the complexity of loving someone in the midst of not understanding them, and even hurting them because of it.
