I liked the premise of the book, but overall thought the book was just ok. I really struggle with the entire story about her miserable life being a result of dropping out of school because a boy she liked in grade school for like 6 months died. It’s just such an extreme reaction that I had a hard time caring about Odile. Or maybe that was the point? I wasn’t wowed or overly enamoured with this book. The writing was pretty good and descriptive but it was a bit of a slower read for me.
