I didn’t like the start of the book; it felt self indulgent and a little too heavy handed in the romanticizing of the starving artist in New York trope. As they introduced more narrators, I really started to get into the story. It was great to hear characters like Eleanor and Zoe have a bit more of the main stage, but there were so many threads just abandoned when they could have been so interesting.
