• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

This started off really rocky for me and I was really concerned that the entire book would continue the same way it did in the first 25%. If it had I probably would have DNF'ed it. The beginning was flashbacks, which I lhate, and gruesome mission-gone-wrong. Once it moved on and the romance picked up, I was all in. 

I enjoyed the character growth a lot and a lot of the exploration of trust with personal trauma. I despised the plot about Ben

forgiving his mother and reupping communication with her. As much as I hate flashbacks, I loathe this god awful forgiving-people-who-dont-deserve-it crap

. Other than that and the beginning, it was a good listen. I like this narrator too.
