Frankly in Love (with this book)

I love this book so much. I read it pretty much in one sitting because I couldn't put it down! I loved all the characters sooo much. The only thing is I wish we could have seen some more of the more minor characters as well. The plot seems basic at first, but the actual fake dating plot is only really present in the first half. Although this book is extremely funny, and I laughed out loud many times, it also tackles a lot of serious topics, and explores things like race, struggling with identity, and complex family relationships. The romance was cute as well. I'm not going to spoil the ending, but I will say that it didn't end the way I expected it too. However, I did actually like the ending a lot. Frankly, this book is amazing.
