I feel like I'm never gonna find anything like this book again, would anyone have recommendations?

Rebecca The only book that made me laugh as hard as this one is My Lady Jane by Cynthia Hand. Not at all similar, but so funny!

The blurb doesn't really give much away for the story. Apparently E.L. Won an award/s for it? Is it good? What's the main gist of the story? (No spoilers). I am currently half way between "we were liars" and am really enjoying plot, writing, characters. Can I expect the same thing for this book?

Emily If you enjoyed "We Were Liars", you'll enjoy Frankie. Both are fast-paced, fun, and beautifully well written. Below is a no spoilers synopsis I wrote …moreIf you enjoyed "We Were Liars", you'll enjoy Frankie. Both are fast-paced, fun, and beautifully well written. Below is a no spoilers synopsis I wrote for my blog.

"It's Frankie's sophomore year at a prestigious New England boarding school, but her first without her sister, Zada. She's growing up fast, but everyone around her still treats her like a child or only focuses on her looks. But when Frankie gets noticed by the cutest guy in the senior class, Matthew, she is catapulted into a world of money and inconsequential mal-doings. But that's not to say her life is perfect. Frankie grapples with feeling like an outsider, especially when she learns that her boyfriend is in a secret, all boy society. Most girls would pretend to be okay with it, but Frankie is determined to make a statement."

I couldn't STAND we were liars. I hated the plot, the characters, basically everything. I've read most of the reviews and the description and it seems to be right up my alley- is it worth reading if I didn't like We Were Liars?

harmain How come you were not able to love We Were Liars? It's certainly a shocker but then everyone has a different perception so you're not at fault.

Me being a staunch supporter of feminism, absolutely loved this book. If you like feministic, strong headed, independent female characters then this is definitely your read. I would definitely advise you to read The Disreputable History Of Frankie Landau Banks. Cause it's a masterpiece that will make you laugh and think.(less)
