Frankie is amazing! 
 As an Aussie girl who grew up hanging around Collingwood and the city, getting into mischief, meeting my best friend for a drink at a ridiculous hours, getting in trouble with teachers. I mean let's get it straight I didn't have anywhere near the traumatising upbringing as Frankie, but I couldn't help to compare my year 12 self with her. 
 Frankie is snarky, grumpy, and down right rude and I loved that? Okay? Okay I probably wouldn't be friends with Frankie but I loved her character, she was just fantastic. 
 The problem I did have was the plot line, I don't know why but I felt like it was a bit meh? I liked her brother and I liked that he was a writer but I didn't see the point of us searching for him, like we just met him and his missing why do I care? BUT in saying that I would defiantly read this again based on the characters, writing, and setting alone. 
 I read mainly American YA books and it was refreshing to read about a YA character that I could understand more, I knew what year(of school) they were in and what age that made them, I knew what their school was like, I knew the landscape and people. I new the slang! and it wasn't over the top! 
 Every time I think of an Aussie character in a book my mind comes back to this horrible book I read dnf it had an Aussie as a side character and the lines were sooo bad, the Author made him sound like a 60 year old occa aussie. Every second line was a "Crocodile Dundee" style sentence and I felt like the Author lacked research and just slaughtered our slang (there was also some English slang mixed into the Aussie which was strange and just didn't work) 
 Back to the topic of Frankie I loved this book and give it a 4/5 stars! 
 If you're looking for an Aussie book to read I would highly recommend this, if your from Melbourne I double recommend this! Seeing Collingwood in all its *cough* glory was fantastic, even the neighbors had my heart.
