algauthor 's review for:

Be Frank with Me by Julia Claiborne Johnson

3.0

---

i loved Frank and Mimi's story, and Frank was a fantastic little boy. however, and perhaps this was intentional because she was merely the vehicle for telling the real story, I felt no connection whatsoever to the narrator and found her to be completely one-dimensional: no friends, no living family, no hobbies, etc. but the writng was smart and the pacing was perfect.
