Never in my life hated the characters in the book before, but this is a first for me. Especially the protagonist. The writing in itself is beautiful & relatable & simple, but its just the characters. 

This book is easily one of my most annotated books because I was so angry & I had a lot to say. There were so many negative traits added to her, there was so much unlikability to each of them. And I was getting hopeful to be honest. 

But of course, Frances disgusted me towards the end. Just embarrassing for her self-worth & pathetic.

I cannot tell if I’m supposed to cheer for the main character or hate her. I guess that’s kind of the whole point.
