I don't know. On the one hand, I was very happy for the diversity that was included and that the non-white characters got some development, but on the other, I feel like the sexuality issues weren't handled properly in the least.

This was actually one of the most successful elements of the book.

I don't think the cultural and sexual diversity in the book was a problem at all.
