  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
It felt like this book was trying to cover a lot of different themes and topics and this wasn't always done in a very nuanced or smooth way. It often felt like the author was directly telling you these big things to tick boxes, rather than leading the reader to them in a way that fit with the flow of the story. It's still a decent story, but I don't think it quite lives up to the extreme hype tiktok gave it.
