The biggest issue I had with this book was that I didn't particularly warm to any of the central characters, nor did I fully believe in their relationships. I never really felt the emotion of the relationships between any of the characters, rather it felt more like reading a report on them.

I'm fairly sure it was intentional, but Celestial and Roy's relationship never really rang true to me in the first place, between his wandering eyes and both of their lack of honesty. As a result of that I just didn't fully feel the emotional drama that came out of its ending. 

I liked the final scene between Roy and Celestial in their bed,

and overall it was still a good read but I won't be rushing to recommend it.

I do admit that it might just be me - maybe it wasn't the right time for me to read this book, or maybe my long-standing habit of struggling to read books about characters I don't particularly like. My mum and sister both loved this book but sadly it hasn't done it for me!
