  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated

5.0

As far as cast diversity goes- you have the main characters being women of completely different age groups, who have had different struggles in their own lives, you have two different time periods being represented in the book, there is not much mention of race and while there are men in the book it is heavily focused on women characters! The main plot doesn’t really revolve around the main characters’ “flaws” but a main focus is how those flaws make them the person they are. Very good read!
