emotional reflective sad fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

3.5 stars rounded down, it had some good moments but most of it was fairly unremarkable. The setting of a broken family falling apart against a beautiful tropical paradise was a nice thematic contrast. I particularly enjoyed the sections about loss, grief, and acceptance.
