Francesca is insufferable from her first POV chapter. I loved how the more chaotic the story got, the more chaotic the POV chapters and their lengths became. The falling action did well discussing the not-wholly-satisfying nature of the conclusion. Though the falling action was a little short, it wasn’t too quick. I would've liked a bit more of it, but I’m also not angry about its length.
