Fragile by Eve Francis

3.0

Fragile by Eve Francis is a very well-written book. This being said, I found it very hard to connect with the characters and become truly invested in the story. For the first third of the book or so, the protagonist, Carly, and her love interest, Ashley, really intrigued me. They were relatable and somewhat unique, and I enjoyed their dynamic together. Unfortunately, even though initially I was interested in the characters and original idea, somewhere along the line I just lost that interest and felt disconnected with the characters somehow.

There are some really intriguing characters in this book, particularly Cynthia (Carly's sister) and Landon (Carly's childhood friend). I would've liked the book to focus a bit more on them, as they were both really lively, colourful characters.

Overall, Fragile was a good book. It was worth reading, even though it felt a bit unfocused at the time, Francis writes the book well and in a way that made me keep reading. I'd be interested in reading some of her other books some day, since the writing itself is actually pretty good.
