Smoketown by Tenea D. Johnson
2.0
slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

This is an interesting concept for a novel, but poorly executed. The multiple POV introduced many characters but left them all underdeveloped. Had this book been longer, it would have been a DNF. One star for brevity, one star for character diversity.
