Plot or Character Driven: A mix

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: Yes

Diverse cast of characters: No

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I really enjoyed this one. I didn't know anything about the Romanian revolution, which is not surprising. Sepetys does a great job of uncovering lesser-known stories and bringing them to life. It's hard to imagine how paranoid life would be and for how long, and how brave these kids had to be to stand up to power. So good.
