hopeful informative inspiring reflective slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

This was good and had so many plot points. A little convoluted because there was so much going on that it felt some storylines were rushed or just thrown in as an afterthought. Like was the romance between a main character and the school bully necessary? No, and it took away from some really important and nuanced exploration of youth activism, family dynamics, and racism.
