This book felt like a curtain was pulled aside and I got a glimpse of Cleo's, Frank's and their loved ones' lives all at once. It felt deeply personal and real and it's a book I can see myself rereading at some point in the future.
It starts with a bang, it really grips you and even though there is a bit of a slower pacing towards the middle, I still couldn't stop reading.
My only complaint is that I didn't really like the chunks that were focused on Eleanor, not so much because I didn't like her (I wasn't overly attached to anyone in this book 😅), but because I felt like she was introduced rather "late" to us and I didn't have time to actually be invested in her "story".
