I really wanted to like this more than I did. The characters of Zora and Franklin are compelling, and the development of their relationship is charming. The narration is shared in alternate chapters by the two, so the reader does get the chance to look at the same events from each character's perspective.
But Franklin is so needy, so selfish, and so inflexible, that it's easy to see this romance is headed for choppy waters. And while that's a legitimate plot point for exploring the growth of a relationship, it just makes it really hard to care whether these two can ever get back together after what seems to be an irreconcilable break -- rather, it makes it hard to see why Zora would even consider it.
