Death, Dickinson, and the Demented Life of Frenchie Garcia

This was a fast-paced read, but I couldn't really connect with it. I felt like I should, despite the fact that I'm not the intended audience, as I was similar to Frenchie in many ways as a teen (though I didn't hate dogs - this was an offhand comment about Frenchie at the start of the book and is never brought up again, but it made me immediately distrust her).

I feel like the structure of the book was a hurdle for my enjoyment. It's a third of the way through the story when we finally get Frenchie to start talking about the fact that she spent a night with Andy Cooper, the last night before he killed himself, and then everything after that felt disjointed for me.

Fans of 13 Reasons Why might enjoy this, and I see that many others liked it infinitely more than I did. This just wasn't my book. 3/5
