*Bookbag*
A powerful and important love story, this book explores coming of
age and coming out. I hope it will give girls everywhere the
courage and freedom to follow their hearts
*Good Housekeeping*
There's a reason why Jacqueline Wilson has sold more than 40m
books. Yet again she delivers a touching, bittersweet drama about
ordinary, credible lives. The characterization is spot on, showing
real insight into how today's youngsters think, talk and behave,
and Frankie's story beautifully conveys the thrill of first love
and the additional complications that being gay can bring to it
*Financial Times*
I would have loved it as a younger teen. I'm so pleased for all the
girls who will get to read this at the same age as Frankie and see
themselves reflected in the pages

Whether you'll grab your hair in agony or cry silent tears for
Frankie's broken heart, this one will stick with you for a
while
