Character
Strong character development:
No

Complicated

Yes
In the category: Can middle aged women stop writing about the sexuality of teenage boys, please?!
This is a very strange novel. But aside from some neat prose, it isn't a very good one. The way the book has been written also dates it tremendously; not because the events of the book link it to a specific time but because of the way it talks about Justin's mental health and the occasional homophobic joke.
All in all, this is pretty much a nothing burger of a read.
