I struggled with this, a lot and almost DNF’ed on multiple occasions. I stuck with it because it was so short and to be entirely honest, the last 20%-ish did get a bit more interesting.

I struggled with the writing style. I found it very bland and honestly, I was bored and disinterested for a lot of the story. I found Frances to be an unlikeable character and only towards the end did I start warming to her.

I just felt that the characters and their relationships had no depth. It was all words but I didn’t feel any connection to them or feel invested in what happened to them.
