 interesting narration of the complexities and challenges of modern love. Large cast of characters fleshed out just enough! Will make for a great tv series I feel. Difficult topics were covered in this book and at times made for difficult reading. Not quite 5 stars because I felt I struggled to keep up the pace reading it.

i found the writing style so easy to read, which was such a strength because it is not an easy read otherwise. i actually liked the characters but i thought it was a shame that some of the side characters got meh endings, no real conclusion for their story

i’m glad they didn’t end up together.

i took a long time to finish this book even though i liked it from the start. 

all i wanted was to shake cleo’s shoulders and take her to therapy.

it is an exploration on the ripple effect a hasty decision can have on every other relationship we have.
