"I started The Deflowering of Francine expecting a quirky love story and ended up completely gutted in the best possible way. Brice Bogle's writing is razor-sharp and emotionally raw. Francine isn't just a character; she's a force of nature. I couldn't stop thinking about her for days after I finished the last page. The setting, the mood, the psychological tension, it all felt so cinematic and deeply unsettling. One of the most original books I've read in years."

"This book pulled me in with its opening and refused to let go. There's something so intoxicating about the way Francine moves through the world and how Norman slowly unravels in her orbit. It's not just about love or obsession, it's about what happens when we see someone the way we want them to be rather than who they truly are. I loved how the story kept me questioning what was real and what was performance until the very end."

"Brice Bogle has created a masterpiece of emotional complexity and haunting beauty. Every sentence feels intentional, every character flawed but deeply human. Francine is unlike any heroine I've ever encountered. She's not there to be saved or understood. She's there to be experienced. This book challenged me, made me uncomfortable, made me reflect. It's the kind of novel you want to discuss the moment you finish."

"I read this in two days and now I need someone else to read it so we can talk about it. The atmosphere is so vivid you can almost feel the drizzle on your skin and hear the city humming beneath the surface. There's a pulse to this novel that's hard to describe, it's poetic, gritty, mysterious, and bold all at once. Brice Bogle doesn't hold your hand as a writer, and I loved that. You're thrown in and expected to keep up."

I've read a lot of contemporary fiction, but The Deflowering of Francine stands out for how it handles mystery and character psychology. The relationship between Francine and Norman is fascinating in its complexity. You keep waiting for it to settle into something familiar, but it never does. It keeps shifting, surprising, and provoking. This book is a literary trapdoor, and once you fall in, there's no way back. Brilliantly executed and utterly unforgettable."
