This book had a bit of a slow buy in character wise. I felt them all to be a little unbearable. As time goes on, I began to feel an attachment to them as their stories deepened. I loved how the narrative took different perspectives. The writing was poetic and even humorous at times. By the end, this was a story of triumph, resilience, and contentment even when there is unrest with a bit of a love letter to female relationships.

This is the second time I have read this book and I love it just as much.

Mellows is an extremely gifted writer.

She had me captivated at every single page/chapter.

I adored the wit throughout the book.

I enjoyed the unraveled, complexities she explored in the relationship between Cleo and Frank.

She tackled many themes confidenly and with sensitivity.

Fuck Frank. Cleo wasn't perfect, but she deserved more. She's definitely better off without him, though.

i think this was just a case of a book not being the one for me. i deeply enjoyed coco mellor's writing style and the voices she's able to curate for her characters and the voice actor was wonderful in distinguishing between the characters as well. the style of the book itself, where we sort of meander through the characters' lives is one i enjoy, but i don't see this particular book sticking with me for super long.
