- She drove me nuts. The premise of the book was really interesting and I enjoyed the side characters. But it ended up being a 3/5 for me because I couldn’t stand Frankie.
- Parent context: Loved the first half, disliked the second. Read The Nightingale and The Great Alone. Reply: Me too! The main character started to really annoy me.
- Loved the first half, disliked the second.
