Plot- or character-driven? A mix
Strong character development? Yes
Loveable characters? Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Maybe my favorite book ever. I love every single character and every chapter. I want more about all of them. I read it for the first time four years ago and loved it, but it struck an even bigger chord with me this time around. Every line is poetic and I just kept saying to myself how well this is written and how did Evaristo do this??

It just got better and better with each new character introduced, I'm so impressed with how much each of these characters had their own lives. I also adore a lot of the values and understandings of life running through this: of class and confidence and self love. Finally I love how intergenerational this is (it's something very linked to my PhD thesis weirdly enough!) Thank you to Lucy for recommending!

So immersive. Incredibly rich and vivid accounts of such a range of characters. I felt utterly captivated by the story. The way it knitted together, but also diverged was fascinating and gave me pause to reflect on my own life and relationships.
