Girl, Unframed by Deb Caletti

3.0

I'm rather disappointed in this book. To be clear, it has solidified my love for Deb Caletti's writing - I requested a copy of this book (thank you Netgalley for granting me a copy!) because I was/am completely obsessed with A Heart in a Body in the World, and to be honest, the premise of the book was irrelevant to my interest. However, I definitely did not expect the story to go the way that it did. I actually thought at the beginning of the book that this could be five stars (or at least four), and I felt that the crux of the story was a letdown. I was also hoping for some closure with the main character's best friend, and I wasn't as big a fan of the romance as the reader was meant to be. Anyhow, this book didn't quite meet the high bar or pack as big of a punch as AHIABITW, but I did really enjoy the writing, and I'm still excited to pick up more from Deb Caletti. I think people who have enjoyed her previous work (before AHIABITW) will enjoy this, and probably just people with different expectations for the plot device than I had.
