No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
Sweet, kind of predictable, and I found the main character a bit annoying at times (despite sympathizing with all her trauma and misfortune). I’m not sure if the story benefitted from her romance with Hugo, either.
Read if you like simple, heartwarming stories about people overcoming trauma.
