adventurous slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? Yes

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

3.5

It's hard for me to review this because I loved it so much when I was a teenager -- it is very slow-paced and repetitive and Laura is terribly NLOG and the book slogs for me when she's the POV, but it also has so many things I love (Randolph, Fence, Ted growing up some) that I put up with the rest of it.
