As this was praised as the best book ever by several members of my book club (😅), I finally managed to get to it and - it‘s fine.

I like the different viewpoints and such, yet I think it was too predictable for my liking. It‘s a very cliché coming of age in a big city imho.
Also Cleo has blond hair that falls like a curtain WE GET IT!

The storyline itself is a wild ride, yet the end is actually really calm which I think was a bit disconnected. Nonetheless a good read :)
