Ehhh... Hard for me to rate and review this book because I didn't read what I thought I would. Either the summary I got at the back cover of the book (French edition) was misleading, or the author didn't write what she said she had, but I think it's the first explanation...
Anyway, because of that back cover, I thought the book would center around Frank and Elsa's developing relationship and that them being found in the same bed together would be a turning point in the story, but turns out it doesn't happen till late in the book and that...nothing much happens either before or after that.
I think the author intended for it to be a character study and, in that aspect, it's good! The writing is beautiful and I liked having different POVs. I just got a bit bored and would have preferred to have everything a bit more tied up.
