What do you say, blow through dinner and come back here for girlie stuff?"įrankie said, "You're on. "We should do facials and paint our toenails Friday before they pick us up.
I used to watch that show on DVD all the time when I was little." "I have a serious and justified love for Kermit that I will parage to the end." "They're not puppets, they're muppets," said Frankie. Little scenes like this are what made the book for me: The writing in this novel was flawless with some hilarious dialogue between the characters, particularly regarding some of Frankie's ridiculous neglected positives, it's such a silly idea that shouldn't be so funny but I have no idea how many times I must have laughed. She's a 5-star heroine and the perfect partner in crime. I enjoyed reading about Ruby and frequently related to her but, for me, Frankie Landau-Banks was all the more kick-ass, funny and just so memorable. On the surface, it's a high school tale of cliques, first loves and mischief - quite like the author's The Boyfriend List: 15 Guys, 11 Shrink Appointments, 4 Ceramic Frogs and Me, Ruby Oliver and the other Ruby Oliver books.
The story spoke to me on many levels and addressed issues that I have written articles on and feel very strongly about. but I, like every girl I know, could have done with the reassurance that being your own person is more important than fitting the mold and that women are worth more than just a chest measurement. And no, I never went to an elite prep school with a bunch of stuffy trainee 'old boys' and a 60 year old all-male secret society. Both highly political and incredibly funny - it's the book I wish I'd been given to see me through being a teenager and to prepare me for later life. If you're female and between the ages of about 12 and 25, I cannot think of a single reason why you shouldn't read this book.
