About this ebook

Having left behind the melodrama of her solitary high school days—and the beheaded martyrs in her paintings—Ellie arrives at the New England College of Art and Design. Looking forward to the opportunity to recreate herself and her art, she begins her first day by dirty dancing with the Devil. Then she makes out with him. Ellie soon learns a lot about herself in this story about independence, trust, and boys.

I was completely blown away by Frank's style of writing, and it astonishes me that I absentmindedly read "I Cant Tell You" and failed to connect the author names. This is an incredible read, I look forward to rereading it when it is in my possession; and I also look forward to her forthcoming release, "Normal, Me." -Mabudachi3
