I must be honest, I'm not sure this book is what i was expecting and I'm not sure if i loved it or hate it.
I like how obnoxious they all were and loved the story, the vibes, and weirldy enough Richard; still, i was kinda disappointed.
The second half of the book was pure torture and i felt like it was dragging on and on.
In contrast to what i read, i liked the epilogue. It was perfect, in the story. They're not good people, they're far from it, and got what they deserved in some way.
I'm still confused in some part and felt like D.T. could have given me more about Henry and the greek group, in the second half, cutting out all the cheesy way Richard talked about the same things.
In the end, it was a really slow but good read and will always love my deeply flawed Francis.
