• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

Loved the setting, loved the characters (flaws and all), loved the story. Say what you will but I'm a genuine sucker for a surfing book. And then a romance and a plot of ecological preservation that's a winner for me.
