Yes
Loveable characters:

Diverse cast of characters:
Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
Beautiful, slow, lyrical prose. I particularly loved how Greenidge wove the water spirit and imagery through Libertie's life. I wanted to know even more about Libertie's Mama, but so much of the complexity and character development came from Libertie herself not understanding her mother.
