the writing was very boring and plain, not engaging at all. i found the characters pretty one dimensional which was disappointing. i think trying to cover five characters in 210 pages just didn’t work at all.

this book was really sweet! i think the author did a fairly good job at addressing the subject matter but could have been better. i loved all the characters so much!! i wish we got to see more of them though, i feel like a lot of personal issues from each character deserved more care and nuance. a lot of topics really weren’t elaborated on and the different characters didn’t all combine at the end like i would have wanted
