The Scrapbook of Frankie Pratt by Caroline Preston

3.0

(3.5 stars) (one might think there are spoliers in this so idk if you want to skip reading this?)
Okay. First can I just say that this book is GORGEOUS OH MY GOODNESS. I am literally the author bc I love love love collecting vintage scrapbooks and journals... so in that respect, this book is one of the very best e v e r.
And the description. Frankie's graduating from high school and wants to be a writer (both like me woot woot) and it takes place in the 1920's. *passes out*
The storytelling is superb somehow. The story?
Eh.
It's a *really good* story, but honestly?
I got really. sick. of all of her lovers gone wrong.
like come on how many do we need?
So... I was disappointed. This had the potential to The Best Book but fell a bit flat on the focus on about 47 lovers who turn out crap.
(but the ending though isnt about a CRAP lover so never MIND.)
