• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No

• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

this book sucked so much the ending was so ass it made me want to tear my eyeball from you eye sockets why would they ever make us read this for grade 10 english the beginning rants of the book make there best attempts to make up for the absolutely atrocious writing at the end of the book the ending is so lame I don’t think a third grader would even find this entertaining there decisions for the characters at the end of the book make absolutely no sense and have no development at all 
i don’t really recommend it lol
