I saw a description of this book as "no plot, all vibes" and I agree. I didn't like most of the characters with the exception of Santiago and sometimes Eleanor. That said, it did keep my interest despite all the characters and their self-destructive traits so there's that. Despite lowish rating, I'd recommend to others just to get their opinions on it.

This book is OKAY…. It starts off pretty strong and the character building is there but it seems to get lazy throughout the novel. We’re brought into multiple stories with such depth at the front end but left with nothing at the end. Unsatisfying and honestly predictable ending.

This book showed me why I don't read literary fiction- it broke my heart and then started to put it together again but I still wasn't happy. This book is super dark and was really triggering. That being said the characters felt so real and it will stay with me for a long time. The writing also was phenomenal!
