Glad I persevered to the end, but there were several chunks of this one that I straight-up hated. Not to say the writing was bad, or the story not worth reading, it was just extremely unpleasant.

A book written by a woman that felt like the male gaze with a group of dysfunctional pretentious New Yorkers who don’t care to solve their own problems

It enraged me that the entire book was told in third person except for the chapters narrated by a side character. There was nothing at all in the book to justify this choice. The most interesting characters in the book were cast aside and left with unsatisfying conclusions in favor of the self pitying perspectives of the winey main characters.

Fuck Frank. Cleo wasn't perfect, but she deserved more. She's definitely better off without him, though.
