Publisher Description

Frankie Landau-Banks at age 14:

Debate Club.

Her father's Bunny Rabbit.

A mildly geeky girl attending a highly competitive boarding school.

Frankie Landau-Banks at age 15:

A knockout figure.

A sharp tongue.

A chip on her shoulder.

And a gorgeous new senior boyfriend: the supremely goofy, word-obsessed Matthew Livingston.

Frankie Laundau-Banks.

No longer the kind of girl to take no for an answer.

Especially when no means she's excluded from her boyfriend's all-male secret society.

Not when her ex boyfriend shows up in the strangest of places.

Not when she knows she's smarter than any of them.

When she knows Matthew is lying to her.

And when there are so many, many pranks to be done.

Frankie Landau-Banks, at age 16:

Possibly a criminal mastermind.

This is the story of how she got that way.

"I'm so glad to see more in-your-face young women protagonists! Frankie may not be your Katniss Everdeen, and while her motives to be in the "boys club" because it's seemingly more fun to be a boy than a girl, she's a young woman who challenges expectations. "

    " This book was amazing. I keep my standards pretty high when it comes to books, too. I think E. Lockhart is a genius and this is one of the best books I read in the summer of 2011. "

    " A feminist manifesto for the millennial set. Frankie turns the normal tropes of YA chick lit (be self depricating, get the guy, your problems will be solved) on their heads. She's a bad ass, whip-smart and she knows it, I love her. Bonus points for Foucault references. "

    " Frankie has a lot of spunk and refuses to be the "nice" girl everyone wants her to be. Review in my NOTEBOOK. "

    " Liked it, didn't love it. Although I did think that it had a decent message with a little girl power thrown in. Probably would have enjoyed it more if I had gotten to discuss it with my book club. Worth the read. "

    " I loved Frankie. My girls could both turn out like her and I would be thrilled. Great read. My oldest is not too far away from me passing this one on to her. She will love it. Right up there with 'Stargirl' for me. "

    " I loved how bad ass the main character was. Who says women can't kick some guys butts! ;) However, I reviewed it threw stars because it is a very teenage-y book. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone over the age of 18. "

    " This book is laugh out loud funny. Frankie, Matthew, and Alpha are all incredibly clever and witty. A very enjoyable read. The ending was a little bit sad, but realistically, it is what would happen. Warnings: There are a few sex references and teen drinking. "
