The book was definitely a slow burn for me, and I'd say I wasn't really in to it until halfway through. The main character, Francie, is so relatable and you really feel for her in certain parts of the story. The book is full of hilarious and heartbreaking moments. Overall, I enjoyed it and definitely recommend it if you're looking for a good, heartfelt story.
