Review: Frankly in Love

Title: Frankly in Love
Author: David Yoon
Narrator: Raymond J. Lee
Audio Length: 10hr 11min
Rating: 5/5
Synopsis (Found on Goodreads):
Two friends. One fake dating scheme. What could possibly go wrong?

Frank Li has two names. There's Frank Li, his American name. Then there's
Sung-Min Li, his Korean name. No one uses his Korean name, not even his parents.
Frank barely speaks any Korean. He was born and raised in Southern California.

Thoughts:
Those that have been around awhile know that I'm not the contemporary girl. I like
me some fantasy, space and magic in my stories. This book has none of those things yet
its one of my Top Ten of 2019.
The bold in the synopsis sums up everything to be honest. I love the idea that
two people that believe they have nothing in common decide to team up to hide
relationships from their parents. The lengths that Frank Li and his Cohort Joy Song go to
hide their non-Korean partners.
Now I'm not one to condone hiding things from adults but as an adult (25) I've
learned better by trial and error. Parents will inevitably find out whatever it is your hiding.
How long will it take for Frank Li and Joy Song to be caught in a web of texts, lies and
feelings? I recommend listening to this one and follow along to find out what two
teenagers will put themselves through in order to be different from their families.

TTFN,

Ashley
