[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Frankie" by T. A. Perret.]
Frankie by T.A. Perret is a divine coming-of-age book about the life of a teenage girl, Frankie.
Frankie's mother, Rachel, went to a frat party with her friend, Mindy, when she was visiting from Dallas. Never drinking before, she passed out at the party and soon finds out that she is pregnant. Her parents were furious and didn't want her to keep the baby. Rachel left her parents' home in Dallas and moved to Holly Springs, where she had her baby and named her Frankie. Rachel told her daughter growing up that her father was gone, and Frankie always assumed that he was dead. The two women grew up together and became more than mother and daughter; they became friends. For almost eighteen years, it was just the two of them. Then, one day, a new English Literature teacher comes to town, and mother and daughter are no longer friends. Who is this teacher, and what does he have to do with them? How does he become entangled in their lives?
I enjoyed this book immensely. The characters were all well-developed, each with their own relatable struggles and triumphs. The plot of this story was engaging and kept me hooked. The book was written for young adults, and it takes place in a high school setting, with the homecoming dance as an exciting event. Remember when you went to high school and were thrilled to be going to the dance with a date? All the teenagers in the storyline are friendly, well-behaved kids who don't drink or do drugs. The only thing that they need to do better is not come home late for curfew.
There was nothing to dislike about the book. I found no errors, so it was perfectly edited. There was only minimal profanity, and although some sex was mentioned, it did not describe it in detail. The book is not just a story but a learning experience for teenagers. It shows them the consequences of unprotected sex and how to deal with it. It also explores the idea that sometimes adults must keep things from you for your own good and that you should forgive the ones you love before something happens and it's too late.
Frankie deserves a full-blown rating of 5 out of 5 stars. It's a book that transcends age barriers. Not only will young adults enjoy it, but adults like me will love it, too. It's a book that is not only about high school and young adults but also has romance and educational lessons to be learned. It's a story anyone can relate to and find something to love.
