Less to Friday, though. What you’ve got to get about Friday is that it’s about someone peripheral to events, who will stay peripheral to events even if important things sometimes happen through her. If you accept that, then the book is a lot more satisfying. Waiting for something that’s not going to happen made it worse. I think it still has some issues around her opinions of the guy who pops up again at the end not really being adequately justified.
The same applies to The Door Into Summer.
