M or F

M or F

When Marcus finds out his "brain twin," Frannie, has been keeping her latest crush from him, he decides he needs to interfere. The plan: chat him up on the school's chat room. The problem: Frannie is too scared to talk to him. The solution: Marcus does the typing. The second problem: Marcus, who is gay, starts falling for Jeffrey.

This is the best high school drama I've read in a while. Its takes a semi-common issue and puts a twist and fresh perspective on it.

The main characters are some of the most interesting I've ever read about. Marcus isn't the usaul insecure gay. He's okay with himself. Frannie isn't an annoying girl with a whiny attitude. She bold and unique.

The character interactions were my favorite part of the story. Realistic but not common, the interactions add to the conflict. Witty and funny, this was an absolute fun and quick read.
