Frog Music by Emma Donoghue

3.0

I neither loved nor hated this book. I had high hopes considering Donoghue's Room has stayed with me years after reading it. It took me a while to feel invested in this book, though it did eventually engage me. I actually had no idea it was based on truth until 400 pages in when I reached the afterword. Somehow I think if I knew that sooner, I'd have been more invested. Mostly, I think this needed a few passes with a solid editor to tighten it up. It was an ok read that could have been very good.
