The ending leaves a lot to be desired, especially with the character of Bobbi, but it is still an incredible novel.

There are explicit details about endometriosis and I found Bobbi to be an awful friend who exploits Frances, but does not take accountability for her own shitty actions.

Rooney's writing style is so hard for me to read, but I wanted to give it another shot. So, I chose to listen to this on audio. It was hard to see the battle Frances was going through with trauma from her history, and I found I was constantly trying to cheer her on and root for her to be more open. I think it was hard for me to read because I related to the feeling of wanting to remain closed off and not a burden to anyone else. It's easy to mask that feeling as an "independent woman" when really you're struggling inside. 

Though I could relate, and it was nice to see the relationship as normal, I think I just struggled with the way it was written

and the cheating element

. I just can't get past the frustration I have with those.
