2.0
hopeful lighthearted fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Was expecting a story about gender (I’ve since seen this book in LGBT+ sections, possible since the bookshop staff made the same mistake), and yeah I was disappointed. 
The writing is kind of more basic than I remember Holes having, and it definitely came across as a book for kids. It was decidedly not made for me.
Generally I found the characters unlikable, which was so disappointing. 
Ah well. Not a book for me and I can live with that!
