i liked this book but i think blue sisters was a stronger novel from coco mellors. if you like character driven stories, especially where the characters are kind of insane and unlikable you would probably enjoy this book. didn’t feel slow or boring at all, though my main gripe is that frank is such an unlikable character and

i hated that he ended up with what i think is a happier ending than cleo

Ich fand es sehr Charakter bezogen, aber es waren auf jeden Fall interessante Charaktere dabei.
Allgemein ein schönes Buch, aber es hat mich nicht komplett gecatched.
