I really actually enjoyed this book. Something about Frankie just stuck with me, and I really liked that the author didn’t make a “fairy-tale” ending where everything was just awesome. I was left wanting to know what Frankie did next. I wish there was a sequel :-)

I’m not sure why I’m fascinated with books set in boarding schools since I never attended one, but I am. This sounds great.

Thanks for the link! I really enjoyed this one (plus I’m a sucker for a boarding-school story), but I can see what you mean about it not becoming an all-time favorite.

Funny, I was just about to write my own review of this one. I felt the same way! I just didn’t relate to Frankie or something. Not that I relate to all the YA characters I read, but you know what I mean?

I don’t normally read much YA but I have this on my nightstand. We’ll see what I think ;)

I felt the same way – didn’t quite live up to what I was hoping.
