( ) I liked this book and tagged it as a Twilight-alternative because girls who want to be Bella should get a load of Frankie Landau-Banks. She will rock their worlds. This book wasn't perfect (I agree with Michelle that the author overused the imaginary negatives, and I agree that the first half was better than the second), but I couldn't put it down. I also studied Foucault's take on the panopticon (but, uh, in my junior year of college, not sophomore year of high school) and I thought it was great to bring that level of criticism into what is essentially a teenage saga of love and revenge. But is it really just a saga? There are a lot of big ideas in this book. It could spark some really interesting conversations about feminism, gender equality, class distinctions, civil disobedience, and social hierarchy. I think it totally should've beat [b:What I Saw and How I Lied|4052117|What I Saw And How I Lied|Judy Blundell|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41IFVJpVjjL._SL75_.jpg|4099124] for the NBA.
Frankie faces a generous helping of disappointment, certainly. No princessy happy ending awaits her. But the novel holds out the hope that a girl like Frankie — who has above all an unwillingness to settle —could grow up to change the world. “The Disreputable History” not only delivers the line, but somehow makes you believe it is true. Lockhart creates a unique, indelible character in Frankie, whose oddities only make her more realistic, and teens will be galvanized by her brazen action and her passionate, immediate questions about gender and power, individuals and institutions, and how to fall in love without losing herself.
