dark sad slow-paced

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

2.0

Pros:
Good description of 10 year old mind
Cons:
Kinda racist.
Namedrops rare mental illnesses for no reason and also does not describes them accurately. ( victims of that: ASD, DID, Psychosis)
Metaphor of nothing really.
