I don't think I was not interested in a single character and that's super impressive with such a big amount of characters. Of course I loved reading about Cleo and Frank, but I loved Santiagos chapters and Anders and all of them really. Zoes as well and Eleanor, of course!! Every single character felt so human. And felt so New York, I could picture all of them. The type of people you'd see in a NYC subway.
In general, Coco Mellors has this way of capturing new yorks essence and it's spirit, that's so special and made me feel so connected to the city.
The ending was so bitter sweet, but great. Not too perfect, but realistic. It's just the way life goes, truly.
Manhattan was stretched out before her like a handful of jewels. Blue. The city that never wanted you to leave. Red. So it offered you everything, anything. Blue. It was time to go.

The only character I liked was Santiago. I would read a book about just him.
I would recommend this book to fans of Lana Del Rey, people who enjoy insipid nicknames, and anyone who enjoys wallowing in self pity.
