Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

This was perhaps a little too sickly-sweet for me. Very White Teeth vibes in that it follows siblings, partners, their coworkers, parents, random side characters, all taking place around one modern event that keeps cropping up in the background. This ended up being rather sweet and happy-ending-ish, but it just felt a little too contrived?? Almost read like a rom com, which I don’t tend to love in a book. Cute summer vibes though
