- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

This book felt like it snowballed out of control and all the author could do was keep running with it. She somehow managed to fit every taboo topic into this book without making great points about any of them.
