  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

One of my most anticipated reads that, sadly, didn’t quite live up to expectations. I really appreciated the introduction to Malaysian culture - something I have not read about before - but the plot became quickly muddled with too many points. 

I’d have really liked it to focus more clearly on the relationship between Jessamyn and her family.
