I didn’t like the way it ended (though it was appropriate for the genre). I would’ve liked to hear more about Ennis and the other friends she made on the fishing boat.

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

Your absence has never felt crueller. I've never hated you until now. I've never loved you more.

Absolute work of art. There's poetry in McConaghy's prose. I could swim in her storytelling.
