challenging fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

Really felt something when I thought it was a true story. Felt more angry when I realized it was made up and total propaganda to stigmatize already marginalized populations

I read this in school (I'm now 35) I loved this book then but when I keep trying to go re-read it it's hard to get into.
This is definitely one I recommend though but I must warn you there should be MANY trigger warnings!
