A review by chocolateandpie
The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks by E. Lockhart
medium-paced
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
3.5
Reading this book in my mid twenties as compared to my mid teens was a very different experience.
I remember really loving it the first time I read it something close to 10ish years ago. I remember thinking it was clever and engaging and I remember loving the titular character Frankie.
Upon rereading it I can solidly say that whilst it is still a fairly enjoyable book with a fairly engaging main character I am definitely not the target audience of this book anymore.
I like it for what it is but I think that my nostalgia made me expect more from it than what it actually delivers.
But overall it is still a fairly enjoyable and relatively fast-paced read although I think the plot overall definitely picks up the pace in the second half.
