I really enjoyed the writing and the story-telling in this book. I know that it was well done because I’m normally not one to like books or movies etc where the main character is a lousy drunk who can’t do anything right. This book kind of made me think of Inside Llewyn Davis, which is a movie I hate. I compared the two because the main character keeps doing annoying ass things and you just want to shake them and make them do what you think they should do.
However, I really enjoyed this book. I think the writing really helped the reader to understand Leo’s anguish and depression and struggle with alcoholism. I thought Arianna could’ve been a little more three dimensional. She was just kind of mentally ill and unstable without much else going on in her character. Overall quick read and enjoyed it.
