- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
One negative someone noted was that it felt like the author was trying to check too many diversity boxes. My advice is to google the author and learn even the bare minimum about them and reflect on why you assume people can’t belong to all those identifies.
Anyway, painful read. I can’t tell if reading this was cathartic or not. Definitely to an extent, but still painful.
