This book has a special place in my heart because of the character Frankie. I am an elementary special education teacher with OCD in the Pure O form. I felt like this book was meant for me. I loved the romance and how they found their way back to each other. I loved how she was like a special gift to Mack’s son as well. I read this in less than 24 hours and was so glad I found it!

I love everything Penelope Ward writes, and this book is no exception! Frankie and Mack will steal your heart! (So will Jonah!). A must read! It has been in my library for a while. Not sure what took me so long!

This story is so stupidly Romantic, that I almost don’t know what to do with myself. I was laughing, and crying, and then ready to rage the next minute. My emotions were all over the place. I felt so discombobulated about everything, and I absorbed every single inch of this story ravenously. A tragic love story with so many uphill moments that I was pretty sure I was going to become a nervous wreck by the end of it. Mack and Frankie belong together. There simply could not be any other way. They deserve each other, and they are the very example of what fated love should be. Their love was so strong, and unbreakable. It’s a love to be envied, and a love to strive for. The surrounding characters were just as well functional, and interesting. I do kind of wish Moses showed up later in their story, but we can’t always get what we want. The story thrived without it, anyway. I would highly recommend this book. It’s not super steamy, but the steamy parts are exactly the right amount for the amount of delicious angst you get leading up to it. I was fully satisfied with every single part of this book, and I look forward to rereading it several more times in my future. You should definitely be reading this book! A little side note: I was very pleased that OCD was shown in a more factual light. I’m constantly frustrated by OCD stereotypes that paint people that live with this condition a certain, and specific, way. We are more than that, and this book did this topic justice. I really appreciated that. I also enjoyed the fact that it was just a small part, and didn’t overpower the entire story. It was tasteful, and full of respect.

Kept me on the edge of my toes! I couldn’t wait to get home to read this story!! Loved loved loved !!

So, the characters of this book are more interesting than any I’ve read in a while. I love their character flaws that are so real. But the real clenched was the unexpected gush of happiness I got when Buffy the vampire slayer references showed up in this book. That is my all time favorite show and was an unexpected surprise to have them discuss their love for the show. That won the book right there for me!

Ms. Ward is a wonderful storyteller and one of my favorite writers. I’ve read nearly all of her books so if your looking for a good one, start here! You won’t be disappointed ❤️

Oh my Mac and Frankie oh what a story how life gives you those unexpected experiences and finding your true love again this is a MUST READ for those that love Penelope Ward you will love this book!!

This books was just what I needed to break my book funk. I kept buying books but for months nothing really held my interest, I read this book in 24 hours and I was craving more.

This books had so much promise. I absolutely love her writing style and humor in her books. This story somehow felt rushed toward the end. There were too many explanations and not enough dialogue. Which disappointed me so much because I have literally read ALL of her books but this one left me...blah. I hope Mr. Moneybags isn't like this.

I'm really surprised this has such a high rating. This book was soooo sloooow. I kept waiting for something exciting to happen but it just never came. I think the character development was excellent but the story was just weak.
