It’s almost six months into the year and I’m finally in the double digits on my reading challenge *throws confetti*. It’s been a busy couple of weeks but definitely time to check in with you guys and update you all on what I’ve been reading recently…
The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks | E. Lockhart
One year ago Frankie Landau-Banks may have been on one of the lowest rigs of the social ladder at Alabaster Prep School, but this year Frankie’s all grown up, poised for big things, and has gotten herself a enviably handsome senior boyfriend. On paper Frankie has a pretty sweet life, but standing in the sidelines and playing the ‘good wife’ isn’t cutting it anymore. No matter how intelligent she is the boys will always think of her as the sweet little Sophmore girl on Matthew’s arm. Oh how wrong they are! Frankie may be a girl, but she’s smarter than all of them put together…and she’s gonna prove it to them once and for all.
Gotta love a bit of Lockhart YA to get yourself out of a reading slump! I was seriously struggling getting motivated to find time to read until I decided to have a flick through Frankie’s story. It’s a-typical YA but gosh is it heaps of fun to read. As per usual Lockhart manages to capture teen life in the upper echelons of American prep society whilst also slipping in some more serious themes about gender inequality during teenage-hood.
