4.5/5

My boyfriend chose, at random, a book for me to read off my tbr and I’m so glad this was the one! My only complaint is that I feel like some characters didn’t get quite the wrap up to their storylines that I wanted to see. Definitely left me wanting more!

Hmm, I’m still trying to capture how I feel about this book. It’s certainly not my usual type of read, but I was hooked after giving the first few pages a read at a bookstore. 

I think there were moments of brilliance in the book, for sure; to highlight- Zoe’s and Santiago’s chapters were wonderful. 

I can’t say that all the content was really ‘for me,’ (the depictions of a craze, drug and alcohol filled life, parties galore, etc), but I’m aware this lifestyle exists outside my own, and it was ‘interesting’ to read about. 

Breezed through the book, though, and thought the writing was quite nice!
