Customer Reviews

absolutely loved this romance

Ever since I first turned to the first page of Frankly In Love I was hooked. I loved the unique narrating style, the character of Frank Li, and the intriguing but realistic way that the world around Frank is portrayed. I really like how it explores the culture and atmosphere of Frank's family as Korean-Americans. I also really liked the character of Brit, the girl that Frank first falls in love with. I kind of wish we got to see a bit more of her later on in the book though. In general, I felt myself rushing through this book in a day because I loved reading it so much. I really felt like I couldn't just put it down! I really think that this book is a wonderful, fast-paced contemporary romance that anyone will enjoy. I hope to see more of David Yoon in writing in the future!

Frankly in Love (with this book)

I love this book so much. I read it pretty much in one sitting because I couldn't put it down! I loved all the characters sooo much. The only thing is I wish we could have seen some more of the more minor characters as well. The plot seems basic at first, but the actual fake dating plot is only really present in the first half. Although this book is extremely funny, and I laughed out loud many times, it also tackles a lot of serious topics, and explores things like race, struggling with identity, and complex family relationships. The romance was cute as well. I'm not going to spoil the ending, but I will say that it didn't end the way I expected it too. However, I did actually like the ending a lot. Frankly, this book is amazing.
