the most interesting character i’ve read in a while. you know when you’re younger and want to be like the main character in a book? i found myself wanting to be like Frances which is strange because I don’t want to be cold or sleep with a married man but the way she thought about things - she’s very apathetic but also calculated? I found it really intriguing and wonder how other people would see me if I was less emotionally invested in everything. I know people complained about the emails in this - i liked it, it gave a sense of gravity to the discussions within them.
