This book deserves a better cover more accurately portraying the characters, they look like high school cartoons. It is a fun read that I didn't want to put down and was sad when it was finished. Francine and her friends are the screwball types that have way more fun than "normal" people. 'Course, I haven't landed myself in jail (repeatedly) like Francine did, so I live vicariously through her shenanigans. Before you've read too much, you find yourself quipping colloquialisms (my Mama always said, "you lay down with dogs, you get up with fleas"), with a Southern accent (isn't that grite?) the book is liberally sprinkled with them. All good fun.
I could just picture the characters in my mind. It would make a great comedy movie!!Francine, God love her acts before she thinks and she gets herself in a heap of trouble and she keeps on digging as the book goes on!!
