Franny was a very frustrating character to me, but written beautifully and in a way that I couldn't really help but liking her by the end of it. Supporting cast was charming and carried the message beautifully. A quick read with some really wonderful quotes, if this is already on your to read list it's worth the time

Franny is a complicated character and there is a lot of time-jumping around throughout her life as you get to know her story. This story is set in the (not-too-distant?) future where a large number of animal species have gone extinct. Franny's speech and descriptions were very evocative and many moments made me very emotional (though I admittedly often cry when reading). I ultimately enjoyed this book, but I ended up way more concerned about Franny and her mental health than the many animals she sees disappearing. If you liked Where the Crawdads Sing (which I liked less

due to a similar twist, but executed less well

), you might enjoy this as well.

I think this is my current favourite book. Not many books make me cry, but this one did. It made me rethink my impact, being alive on this earth, and my future career as a biologist. The plot and the twists and turns and the flashbacks all added to the beauty of this book. Wow honestly
