Franny is working
as an assistant seamstress at Mansfield Summer Theater Program with her aunt,
but she quickly becomes friends with all of the students at the program and has
her eye on a cute boy named Alex. Franny
is disappointed when Alex starts to date the beautiful Isabella, and she is
confused when Harry, the handsome best fried of Isabella, includes her in his
list of girls that he flirts with.
Franny pines for Alex and looks for ways that he could become hers and
brushes off Harry’s advances. But is this
fun summer flirting, or is Franny going to get hurt?
This is a quick light summer read with a fun
romance. The dialogue is witty and funny
and although Franny makes some poor decisions they seem innocent enough that
the reader doesn’t get frustrated with her character.
