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

I struggle to read physical books and usually default to audio, which was a bad choice here because the narrator was not a good fit. She sounded like she was reading the script of a Disney channel original movie, which did NOT suit the tone of the book at all. There was also just way too many POVs - six total, with no real rhyme or reason as to how often each character got a chapter. This made it very difficult to follow the action - something that was not helped by the fact that SO MUCH was going on constantly. I’m disappointed because I really wanted to like this book, and the characters themselves seem great. It just feels unpolished. I was also disappointed because this book was sold to me as sapphic, and while there are characters who are sapphic, the only romance in this book is between a girl and a boy. However, I’m awarding an extra half star because the dog did not die, and the focus on the main characters’ friendship was nice.
