  • 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.
  • I really didn't like this at all! Frankie was a whiny brat and her two friends had far better stories. And *both* her lovers weren't really dead??? I felt that was such a bloody cop-out, especially when it happened twice. It also didn't...

Parent context: It took awhile to move on but Infound both the Nightengale and her book that took place in Alaska to be even more impactful. Reply: Totally agree. I think it was a very mediocre book and she’s not a great writer. It was so clunky the way she was always describing the clothes.
