I don’t really understand the whole point of this book. Some characters were so obnoxious, only a few of them likeable. Basically they all take drugs, drink, party and make bad decisions throughout the story. Half of them seem to have narcissistic personalities so umm yeah. I really enjoyed Eleanors perspective, she was witty, funny and not as self absorbed. I also wonder why some of the characters stories were simply dropped (Cleos best friend, Anders), even though they were really interesting.
