Going to have to agree with others, this book is not worth the hype. Can’t believe it took 7 years to write.

The writing felt so all over the place and I was confused 80% of the time. So many different characters to remember but weren’t really described with much depth, in my opinion. 

The whole “edgy and non typical” romance just didn’t work for me. I realise that the book is about that but the characters came across pretentious and boring. Some of the scenes were so random and very odd. Like the sugar glider??

The chapters were so long and felt like they went on forever. Don’t get me started on Eleanor’s chapters, the constant time jumps. I didn’t know who I was reading about and suddenly Frank is interested in her?? 

I’ve given two stars as it did get more interesting towards the end and I’m happy with frank and cleo’s ending.

Overall, I did struggle to get through this book. I was not excited at all to read it. I feel like I’ve forgotten most of the plot already. It was nearly a dnf but I wanted to finish it.

What an incredibly raw and captivating story. I could NOT put this book down, and it will occupy a space in my mind for a very long time. 

I can't put into words a proper review right now, but please know that this book is one that  makes you think and feel in all the best and worst ways. 5 stars!
