At times an exhilirating read! The characters are beautifully crafted with each given their own interesting backstory. Since perspectives change between the different characters we get to put ourselves in all their shoes (the perspective switches might have been too frequent even). The chapters/passages with Frank & Cleo are real page-turners and carry the book in my opinion.
