Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: No

Flaws of characters a main focus: No

This was sold to me as a fat super hero story which made me so damn excited. I have craved heroes who looked like me for ages but this is... not what I had hoped for. I really wanted to love this but it takes so long for the story to get off the ground (get it?? because she flies???) and it really turns into "obsessed fan girl with tons of followers on her blog meets star of TV show she's head over heels for and they are somehow instantly friends" very early into the book. Which, ok, fine, but it literally takes up so much of the story and it takes so long for the book to get going and I really thought the characters were just as flatly dimensional as the pages the book is printed on. Super disappointed in this one.
