5 Stars ***** With Frankie and Me it really feels like the author has come of age. I write this with no disrespect to the first two books as found them both brilliant and engaging. However, there is a charming humour in the last book of the trilogy that with the relatable style of Marie Yates adds another dimension to the account. It can afford to be a little more light-hearted as much of the structure is in place and only needs the briefest mention the remind the reader. Frankie and Me is brilliant, engaging, endearing and enchanting as it respectfully takes you through the life lessons and coping strategy’s weaved into the memoirs. You listen, you learn, you laugh, you love. By the end of the Frankie and Me you feel a part of Dani’s life and filled with pride at the person she has become. The trilogy is focused on the recovery steps following a traumatic event. It is cleverly written in a way that reaches out to all trying to deal with whatever challenges are relevant to them. The routine enforced by Reggie; the refocus given by the Goals, Success and Gratitude lists and the positive power of exercise and surrounding yourself with positive people no matter how much you want to lock yourself away is a fantastic framework that can be translated across many situations. ~ JOANNA KATHRYN HULL, Amazon
Praise for Marie Yates: Marie Yates is an author and coach who works with survivors of rape and sexual abuse. She brings a very special expertise in writing Reggie & Me, the first in the Dani Moore series. A thoughtful and thought-provoking work of fiction, Reggie & Me is one of those deftly written novels that lingers in the mind and memory long after it is finished and set back upon the shelf. Very highly recommended for both community and academic library collections. ~ Julie Summers, Midwest Book Review
