I loved the narration. The story was told from the perspectives of all characters involved. In this way, the side characters felt complex and real, instead of simply being there to support the main characters. At times, it was difficult to keep track of all the story lines that resulted from this, but that’s fine because those are not the most relevant to the story of Cleo and Frank. It was an interesting book, full of life and emotions. Nevertheless, I have to say that the emotions remained abstract for me - I read and understood them but did not feel them.
