No
Diverse cast of characters:
Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus:

I know the point of this book is to have an unlikable character but I couldn’t STAND juniper. Kuang is a beautiful writer. This book just isn’t for me. Juniper pissed me off the whole book. AND she kept succeeding (for some reason?!?!?). I’ve heard that Kuang never writes happy endings but where it left off was infuriating. I had a hard time getting through it.
