I enjoyed reading this book although the content was somewhat depressing at times. I enjoyed how the characters developed and it gave really good insight into each individuals mental health.
I wasn’t happy with the Quentin story line - why have a chapter from his POV if we’re never going to properly return to him?
I liked that each person found their space, they’re happy for each other even if there is a little feeling of “why could you change for her and not me” which just makes it more realistic.
I liked that Cleo never ended up with another person and that she found herself in the best way.
