I loved that each character had their own strong voice and personality. They felt fleshed out and each so different from one another. Even when they were exasperating, they felt very real to me. I appreciated the author treating each character’s arc and emotions with respect. No one was there to just be a cheap laugh or gimmick. My one quibble is that while the book was well-paced, it also seemed longer than I’d have liked or felt was necessary. What was in it was necessary and yet by the midpoint, I also had the sense felt like Clark could have trimmed 100 pages and have made it more compact without losing anything significant.
