A good read. Some storylines of characters felt were not as finished as i would have liked. I think overall the story was definitely there but wished it was better executed. Cleo seemed to be sudddenly healed from her accident and frank moving on was also sudden with no real Eleanor development which felt rushed. Audrey i felt didnt add much to the story and Quentin could have been explored more. Santiago was also someone i would have liked to learn more about. Overall it was good but did sometimes feel rushed or just glossed over some parts of the storyline. Also what happened to Jesus was not needed and mean.
