For some reason it took me a while to get into the story. Maybe is the unespected narrative style the author used. Anyway, after a few chapters I really started to get into the story, but I couldn't get past the ending. I thought that they senior group (and I don't blame Frankie for falling in love with all of them, since I did too!) would understand Frankie, her motivations, and admire her instead of the rejection she got at the end. I didn't like it at all, it ruined the book for me!
