Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Henri's narrative voice was very strong, and it completely captured the feelings of a middle schooler. Many times the people around Henri make her feel silly for caring too much about things.

As a criticism, I don't think the event with Katherine and the Morgan sister resolved or revealed well. I don't know if it was a miscommunication issue or bullying.

Overall, I enjoyed the casual, slice of life pace, Henri's confusion about her sister Kat's terrible attitude and distance between them, dreaded MATH PROBLEMS, and the unusual Morgan siblings. I wouldn't mind if this series continued, so we could see more of Henri and the Morgans.
