LOVED IT
I have to admit I thought the whole book was pretty hilarious. The opening scene of Frankie talking on her cell phone to her mother describing what the characters in her soap opera Lust For Life would possibly do and the reactions of those around her are priceless! This is definitely a great summer read.
Looks cute! Will keep it in mind for summer.
