Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Brit Bennett is INCREDIBLY talented and I am in awe of the way she blends plot with truly beautiful prose.

I've never read anything like this before - an omniscient narrator that is actually a group of people? Fascinating. The characters were so layered and dimensional and so...alive.

This was a work of art, honestly. Something everyone should read once, but that doesn't quite have re-readability?
