I recommend that you go into this with absolutely no expectations and just let the story take you on a ride. Bonus points if you listen to a Cleo and Frank Spotify playlist while reading. It is much more character driven rather than plot heavy, and it was unlike other books in how it brought you so deep into the perspectives of nearly every side character, even more sometimes than the supposed main characters. I think this was my favorite aspect of this book. It made me feel privy to everyone, and made me understand their flaws and imperfections and mistakes. Everyone in this felt raw and real and all their ugly was laid bare in earnest.
In a way, every person was a little piece of New York itself, the city practically being its own character who unleashed its weight on each person unapologetically. Some thrived in its environment, others not.
I think I will be pondering this book for a long time.
