I absolutely adored Frankly in Love. The first time I heard about this book was through its killer marketing campaign. The publisher sent copies of the book to booktubers but instead of "Frankly," it would read the booktubers name. I thought that was such a unique and fun way to market the book, and it definitely caught my interest. So, when I saw the book at Target, I knew I had to check it out.
I'm so pleased that I did because Frankly in Love is a rich story. Though I'm a sucker for romance, my absolute favorite part was the voice. It felt authentic and real, like I was hearing a story from one of my actual friends. From the get-go, I felt excited to learn more and root for Frank. While this premise is inherently sad, the voice gave the story the boost it needed to never get too low. There was, of course, various points in the story where it was sad or Frank got a bit on my nerves (especially regarding the romance), but the overall narrative is something that trumps those emotions. Really, though the title and premise make it seem so, this book really isn't a romance. Its not about Frank and Brit or Frank and Joy or Frank and whoever. Its just about Frank, and I thought that was really great at the end of it all.
Overall, I really enjoyed it and would recommend this book to anyone!
