Didn’t love or hate this - found myself losing interest nearer the end. Felt like some parts came out of nowhere I.e
Cleo’s attempt and her moving to Italy?


Detested the style of Eleanor’s first person chapters but somehow liked her character?? 

On the whole well-written, dark at times but not entirely void of some hope. If you want to feel better about yourself by reading about some very flawed human beings then this is for you.
