👋 Hello readers!👋 Lots of thoughtful discussion about Frankly in Love happening in the Facebook group. BuzzFeed Book Club Susan Berg said, “To me, this felt very much like a modern Shakespeare tale. Mismatched lovers, discouraging families, etc.” BuzzFeed Book Club member Liz Kaempf said, “ I’m about a quarter of the way through. It sometimes feels like I’m getting way more information and detail than I need; almost a bit of rambling. But I’m enjoying the book’s constant code-switching (to use its own phrasing). There are so many times Frank has to switch mentality and language to fit the environment, whether it’s a Gathering, the Store, or school. I think the way people navigate life in different situations with different people is something everyone can relate to even if some of the smaller nuances feel unfamiliar.” Loved any quotes from the book?
