Love Frankie by Nick Sharratt, Jacqueline Wilson
4.0
I can't understate how amazing it felt to read this. Wilson was my favourite writer during my preteens, I owned every book she wrote and was always excitedly waiting for the next one. And now at 25, my amazing wife gifted me this, a sapphic teen love story.
I can relate a lot to Frankie and her experiences of coming out, and of trying to date someone who was worried about their reputation around school. It felt so authentic, from the feelings and confusion, to the pride and happiness.
I'm in no way someone who cries at books or movies, but I must admit a moment between Zara and Frankie at the end really did bring tears to my eyes.
I'm so, so glad this book exists, and that queer youth have access to these sorts of stories now!! (And that an iconic childhood author came out as a lesbian!!!)
