This book has no plot. It was entertaining and I wanted to finish it but it is about the characters and not a story. It’s hard to explain. I don’t know if I liked it or not yet!

Ultimately, I enjoy this book. It took about 100pgs for me to really get into it. I feel like it was long winded in places but I understand that that was needed to build the full story. 
I did not find either Frank or Cleo likeable. My favourite character was Eleanor, she was funny and much more relatable. Overall a good read, some parts truly had me gasping in shock!
