Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

I just didn't click with it. the voice of Jean wasn't particularly interesting and I just wasn't invested in either of the romances. Margaret was the most interesting element but then not enough time is spend on the dilemma at the end and the connection to the train crash just felt unnecessary.
