Hilarious and moving.  This book was filled cover to cover with witty banter, and thought provoking one liners.  Equally raw and unflinching, this book dives into the minds of broken, relatable people, and the ugliness and beauty we all possess.

I didn't expect to like this as much as I did.

"Wherever you're going is waiting for you" is a phrase that will stay with me.

i really liked this. normally when i read litfic, i feel like it gets kinda slow in the middle, but i didn’t feel that way with this one. i was invested from start to finish. there were a few things that frustrated me (

ex. cheating, eleanor

), but that was probably intentional. cleo is very different from me, but i did feel like i related to her in a lot of ways and i had a soft spot for her even when she was being questionable. i thought the ending was decent. it mostly felt right, but a part of me felt like it was wrong and again, that was probably intentional.
