Interesting Characters That Draw You In Immediately

I think Forman has a great writing style - it's easy to get invested in the characters. I also appreciate that her characters are diverse (an Ethiopian-American singer, a gay Muslim teenager, and a Caucasian with a disability) and have a lot of depth to them. I'll probably check this book out from the library now so I can read what happens to the characters - which is a great sign of how into this book I was. I can definitely see why Forman is popular with YA readers - her work is so fluid and captivating. This one really just drew me in, so I'm interested in finding out what happens to all of the characters. Also, Forman's writing feels mature even if it is targeted at younger readers. Anyone could find something to love about her storytelling.
