I really loved this first look at Frankly in Love. The beautifully lettered cover and description piqued my interest, but it was Frank himself who truly drew me in. Reading about Frank's first *real* romantic encounter had me reliving the excitement and electricity of my own. Pair this with complex realizations about systematic and casual racism, nationality, migration, and identity and I could not look away from the page. I also really enjoyed Frank's character–a romantic teen boy who isn't a "sad boy" or a "nice guy"; a nerd who isn't insecure, but self-assured, who fully leans into his nerdiness with his friends, defying typical rom-com masculinity constructs and defining what being men, or boys, means for themselves. What drew me in most was the very palpable tension between the spoken and the unspoken: Frank's inner turmoil to challenge what he knows is wrong or accept what he believes cannot change, both of which are incredibly hard. I can't wait to keep reading to watch Frank find his voice and be brave.
