Behold the Dreamers by Imbolo Mbue
2.5
dark sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Another required read for school. An absolutely hopeless book that I actually really liked most of the time. Not enough to say I enjoyed it, though. I think it was a good thing to be required to read, as it had important topics, but oh my goodness was this book dark and sad.
