4.0

Love a character driven book and this was pretty great! I enjoyed the writing style and how so many difficult themes were explored. Although your life may be so different from the characters within, you will relate to their feelings and thoughts but that doesn’t mean you’ll like them. The first person parts were clever but they took me out of the flow of Cleo and Frankie story so I didn’t go for 5 stars for t  he at reason.
