Winning a copy of Frankie was one of the best things this year.

Frankie’s sassy attitude and troubled life made her relatable in a way that doesn’t happen too often. I laughed. I cried. I yelled. I believe this book elicited every possible emotion from me. With unique characters and a compelling, splendid story line Shivaun Plozza hit it out of the park with this book. I’ve never been big on contemporary ya novels, but Frankie has definitely made me think twice.
