emotional
sad
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

i wanted it to have an easy ending where everything worked out, and of course it didn’t. i find it worked better that way, though, and i think it would leave readers less satisfied if it all ended perfectly.
the discussion of gender, particularly a’s gender, were very ahead of ”every day”’s time, and i was impressed by that. nonbinary and genderfluid identities weren’t the talk of the town in 2012 the way they are today, but i found david levithan put them into words very nicely.
