Yes
Loveable characters:
Complicated
Diverse cast of characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
Beautifully written with poetic descriptions such as "the cathedral of my ribcage" making it an enjoyable read. I wish she was older, 17 (16?) is so young when the men in her life are at least twice her age. I imagine this was meant to make a point, and it did (it felt icky). I've always loved Macbeth, and I liked most of the story changes that were made except for how the final prophecy was fulfilled.
Would probably read again if not for the story then for Reid's beautiful writing.
