i don’t really know what i was expecting coming into this. but i was happy with what i got out of it. however i thought they’re could’ve been more, just as Quentin could’ve had way more detail, his sexuality was just mentioned and glossed over, and then he just turned into a heroin addict? and eleanor’s chapters certainly could’ve been left out? or just like explained? i kinda hate frank at this moment, like i get it but wow. this book had beautiful lines though and just the plot like it was just about a chaotic life of two people who came together to come part. truly devastating. but i was so proud of cleo for finding herself and leaving.
