Okay, this is definitely not what I expected but not necessarily in a bad way.
I really liked the characters and the different dynamics, I think Rose is my favorite so far. The book was funny at times and I'm no expert but I'd say the addictions were shown realistically. Even though I was annoyed at some parts, the story had something about it that drew me in and made me want to know how the story continues in the next book.
Some parts were a little long and sometimes I was frustrated with how Lily and Lo's respective addictions were everything their days revolved around, thus being very present in the book and in every single chapter, but that's what addiction is after all. I believe that was a good way of showing how present an addiction is in an affected person's life.
I'm currently watching 'desperate housewives' (yes, I am going somewhere with this) and a side character had a sex addiction which I couldn't quite grasp. Therefore I found it incredibly eye opening to read about it from an addicts point of view and the authors did an amazing job in conveying how it impacts Lily's life.
Overall, I had a great time reading the book and the characters have already grown on me<3
I'm rating this three starts because I believe there's still room for improvement story wise.
