Yes
Loveable characters:
Yes
Diverse cast of characters:
Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Complicated
A bunch of things in this book are confusing, but Bella and John’s story make the whole thing worth it. It only took Charles Dickens’s whole life to write a book full of amazing, girlboss women, but at least he did it. Easily his best book IMO. Would have liked to see more of Lizzie and Bella together, though.
