  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.0

Unfortunately this was another example of a Malerman book where I was disappointed with the ending. I found the pacing very slow and the book a bit too cerebral for me. It is a good portrait of anxiety however and while I didn't find the characters to be fleshed out very well I did enjoy the interactions especially between the teenagers and their parents.
