4.0

The topic of climate change and the fact that we as a species are irrevocably harming the earth and other species is something that already feeds my existential dread. So this book was a tough read for me. 

That being said I found myself rooting for Franny even with all her self destructive behavior. The impulse to be wildly free and to ignore problems and to grapple with internal guilt are all very relatable feelings for me.

In some ways I feel like this book was speaking directly to me. 

I'd recommend it if you like a book with a journey and a slew of complicated characters.

This book really surprised me, in a good way. It was emotional and at times dark, but beautiful in the way the story was crafted and how aspects of Franny’s personality and life were revealed through flashbacks and subtle hints. I really enjoyed the experience of reading and following the story!

Franny wasn’t my favorite protagonist up until the end of the story when I finally understood WHY she was doing everything she was. I thought I understood, but I definitely did not. What a read to start off 2024.
