- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

i don’t usually read this genre so i might be overly harsh; but the characters were just unlikeable (except maybe logan and hamza- who are in it for a page or two), and its portrayal of people with mental disabilities felt outdated and honestly infantilising. one of the only good things about it is that it gives a bit of insight into how you don’t know what is happening in someone else’s life (especially celebrities). as well, the book lacks depth and feels very surface level, but seems to get a little better within the final fifty pages. i honestly wouldn’t have finished this had it not been a present, but yeah, i wouldn’t recommend this.
