This book was tough to rate. It’s so beautifully poignant and sad, so it’s not exactly an enjoyable read but I still got through it very quickly. i almost wish it was a little longer and yet i feel it was just the right length. it’s downfall were sometimes I found myself zoning out a little, and I wish we had explored Francis as a character more. Sometimes the time jumping was a bit confusing, but I did think this element was well done.
