Honestly, so close to a 5 star read! The ending lost me a little—it seemed a little too "wrapped up with a neat, pretty bow" compared to the rest of the story, but I was happy that Franny ended up where she did so I can't complain too much.

McConaghy is a brilliant writer—her prose are gorgeous, and I really enjoyed the structure of this story. The slow reveal of Franny's past, and the impact it's having on her present, built the tension of the story beautifully. And McConaghy's dedication to illuminating the consequences of climate change while also wrestling with the complexities of everyday life is incredibly impressive. All of these things make her an automatic read for me!
