From the moment, the book starts you fall in love with Frankie. Frankie has that voice too, but she just chooses simply not to listen. The voice that when angry, encourages us to do the exact opposite of what is right. We all have that voice in our that we know is bad but desperately want to do what it says anyway.

As if that isn’t enough to shake up Frankie’s life, not long after meeting him, he mysteriously goes missing.
