ruthhelizabeth's review against another edition
hopeful
reflective
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? No
3.0
This book was a real mixed bag for me. I loved:
-the range of working class stories
-the bisexual representation
I didn't like:
-The lack of awareness of indigenous people
-the main love interest at all
Overall I'm glad I read it but I wouldn't again, and I feel it could have been greatly improved and I would have loved it because the premise was really interesting and I loved both of our main heroines. It would make a very good TV series adaptation.
