I loved this book, it’s very deep and thoughtful, and had my quietly sobbing on the train to work.

This book really surprised me, in a good way. It was emotional and at times dark, but beautiful in the way the story was crafted and how aspects of Franny’s personality and life were revealed through flashbacks and subtle hints. I really enjoyed the experience of reading and following the story!

The only things keeping me from giving this a smooth 2 stars are the beauty of the language in this book and the overall concept. I initially thought the mass extinction plot line wasn’t focused enough for me, but I did appreciate the underlying nature of it - species are dying at a rate where the people in this book can’t think about it all the time. Aside from the pretty language and the dystopian backdrop this book was simply not for me. The narrator is insufferable in a way that I can’t put my finger on. I think it’s the “life is so hard but I’m sooo flighty hehe” nature of it all. Also I could see the “twist” at the end coming from 700 miles away. Not a bad book, but definitely not worth the hype I personally saw about it.
