Francine's Spectacular Crash and Burn: A Novel by Renee Swindle
3.5
Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
What a rollercoaster of emotions — so sad, then so so angering, then so feel-good. This book was a raw and honest depiction of a flawed person figuring life out and a reminder that everything will be alright. Parts of the book made me so frustrated because of how Francine was being treated, which really is a testament to how the characters are crafted. Swindle has a real talent for creating characters that walk off the page. The writing was a little too conversational for my liking, and there was a bit too much going on at times making everything muddled and the point get lost. The themes at the end pulled everything and were so healing, making this a story that will stick with me.
