This is a book I read for school and while it isn't something I would usually pick up myself, it was an interesting read that I enjoyed.
I found the characters to be interesting and well-written. They were complex and felt like real people.
The book follows multiple different characters, and often when that happens there is a POV that you just want to skip. That didn't happen with this book, which I am pleasantly surprised by.
