YA romance. Fake dating. Sounds predictable? Guess again.

Frankly is written in Frank Li’s teenage Korean-American boy voice. Not only does he highlight what it’s like to be in love with the girl, but also the different kind of self he embodies when he’s with his hardcore Korean family. Between dating a white girl, having a black best friend, and having racist parents who he wants to keep happy, Yoon brings such a fresh and real perspective on love, tradition, and identity through dear Frankie’s eyes. I definitely went through all the motions because each chapter revealed something more. And more.

While it took me a long time to finish due to how busy real life was, I enjoyed reading this a lot. Like a lot, a lot. Quite Frankly, I definitely recommend to my fellow YA fans.
