This book was GREAT! I loved the language and that I got to meet multiple pov, I really like that I got to hate

Frank

in the beginning and in the end I started to really like that character. And the opposite with

Quentin

. So excited for my book club’s discussion on the future. If you want to read this book, go read it now! It’s amazing!

For me this was a fast and easy read. I liked the vived atmosphere of New York. I also liked the characters, especially Cleo. You will not only read about Cleo's and Frank's point of views but also from their friends point of views. These are all troubled and complex characters, and I enjoyed reading from their point of views. However, I didn't enjoy reading from Eleanor's point of view. Her point of view was also differently written than all the other characters, which did not work for me and her story felt boring to read about.

There were also some relatable quotes and funny moments even though the story was quite emotional and dark.
