- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? No
I feel it's unfair to rate this one.
I picked this up for a book club read, and am not sure I would have otherwise.
I didn't enjoy it so much as felt like it was an important story to read. It took me a while to finish as the subject is quite heavy in a heavy world. I'm glad I persevered and finished reading it.
