Each chapter was always engaging and didn’t have a dry/slow moment. You get to see different perspectives from different characters. Description details were easy to understand and imagine. After reading, I understand why this book became a best seller.

Fuck Frank. Cleo wasn't perfect, but she deserved more. She's definitely better off without him, though.
