- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I generally liked the book as a whole. The latter half was less interesting and I didn't like the unexpected turn to first person, and struggled to understand whose head I was in.
Like other reviewers have noted this isn't a story in the traditional sense but a series of vignettes. I didn't have a problem with that. All chapters and the overall story have resolutions.
I liked most of the characters, and my favorite stories were the ones focusing on inner turmoil or relationship strife, though that's pretty much all stories, more or less, plus cows.
Some of the prose landed as overly deliberate ("on the nose") but other passages were so beautiful I quite literally bookmarked them.
