Whose

Shalom,

John was a lonely boy whose only friends were those with bad habits, debts, or bad temper.

Is the above fine or is there a way to improve it? I want to show that John only has friends in these categories, so basically he's lonely.

thank you so much.

A bald statement has power. Repetition has rhythm. Keep lists parallel. Rule one for all writing in "mind the sense" (Lewis Carroll said mind

I'd put the two 'bad's together and keep them all plural.

John was a lonely boy whose only friends had bad habits, bad tempers, or debts.
