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

There are a lot of holes in this mystery. I liked the concept of the story but you really had to dispel your sense of belief because there were so many times where the main character , Remi, could have figured out the truth about which Gaines was the real one and she never did. She was way too smart for me to believe she wouldn’t have thought of the same things I did. I also really was bothered by the fact that Remi just kept helping her brother in the illegal messes he always found himself in despite the fact she was always trying to convince him to stop. Didn’t seem like she knew which way was up.
