challenging
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix

- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? No
3.5
I'm not sure how to feel about this one, I loved Clara as a character and Louisa is a hoot, couldn't have been a more iconic duo.
I kinda felt like something was missing, David's closure too far too long in my opinion.
Paul and Chris's weird friendship, and Sarah's issues....
It reminds you that yes people do give up on long term seemingly happy and comfortable relationships for mere reasons unknown.
When I finished the book, it kinda left me confused, it wasn't a cliffhanger by any means, but I feel like something was missing in this story.
Hence why I rated 3.5, for that weird monotonous droning, and oddly specific details that weren't really needed.
But if there was a book 2, I'd still read it just for closure.
