lighthearted reflective relaxing medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I read this for uni and, yeah, it's not something I would have picked up of my own accord. I thought Wyndham Le Strange Buys The School and 1961 were alright stories but generally I found the stories a bit hard to follow/confusing/jarring so not my cup of tea overall.

There was not a single story that bored me. I thought they were all beautifully written with well-formed characters and believable plots.
