And I thought I would dislike Colin the most…turns out my least favourite (main) character is Michael. I feel like Francesca’s decisions throughout the entire book were never really her own - Michael (and sometimes some outside sources, but mainly Michael) would be heavily influencing her somehow. Let her make decisions when she has a clear head!!! Don’t try to force her hand!! However I did like that the author included some medical background knowledge at the end, and that some proceeds would be donated to
malarial drug developmental research
. But yeah…this, I believe, is my least favourite out of the series. (I like John though, even though he is not really in the book that much.
