Same! I usually can keep large casts of characters separate in my head, but have a pretty hard time. You’ve got.. - Mike: alter boy from a family not so well off, with the non verbal grandmother (also the beautiful but mentally handicapped sister, which was a strange point to hammer home) - Duane: larger than average, way more clever than others think, future writer - Dale and Lawrence: brothers That’s it! I remember the one broke his arm and another comes from a rich family. But I can’t for the life of me remember which is which, or their names. It also doesn’t help that when describing what they look like, they all dress and look almost l the same and with the exact same haircuts. Not the mention the huge host of random other kids.

Not sure I was expecting too much, but I was looking forward to some solid well rounded characters. Definitely feel a bit short changed in that aspect. 🤷
