The Late Blossoming of Frankie Green: Women discovering their powers

Frankie is an easy going young lady, happily married with her first love, but her beautiful dream will be broken when at her first wedding anniversary, her husband seems to want a bit more from their marital relationships. 'Don't you ever wonder what else is out there, Frankie?', is the question that broke her stable universe into many broken hearts pieces. 
Disappointed but curious to find out what is wrong with her, she is starting an exciting journey of self discovery at the end of which everything will look different because she, the timid and unexperienced Frankie, is finally reaching to be the person she was meant to be. 
At the same time, the book is following the stories of her two other girlfriends, Em and Letty, both of them going through lifecrossroads, with hard personal and professional decisions to be taken. At the end, all of them will succeed with a stronger self and more self aware. They will start seeing their lives with completely different eyes and this is part of the normal growing up process.
The writing is humorous and easy going, with a story offering to the reader some extraordinary revelations. I love the smooth play with suspense that happily wake you up from the cozy summer reading mood.
It is a book that makes you think, inspires while keeping a smile on the corner of the mouth for the whole time of reading. A good companion for your summer - or winter - retreats or just for the weekend.
Rating: 4 stars
