This book isn't bad per se  but it's very bland and full of stereotypes. Also the narrative makes some strange jumps and accordingly so does the main character, Alice. For me, the development of her love for Frank was not done well. Her relationship to Xander was awful and I would really have liked to have more Mimi in there, instead. Despite the 400 pages, this felt like an underdeveloped, rough version of a 90s film script.
