House of Frank by Kay Synclaire: An In-Depth Chat With Your Book Besties

from Can I Bring My Book · host canibringmybookclub

This week, your book besties Amanda and Kat dive deep into their latest buddy read: House of Frank by Kay Synclaire. Selected via a whimsical trinket-based recommendation game (thank you, @emilysreadingera), this cozy fantasy read gave us adorable vibes, complex characters, and more than a few tears. We talk about grief, memory loss, found family, and the magical weirdness that is Ash Gardens. From chair brothers to ghostly dinner guests, there’s no shortage of heart in this story—and we have thoughts. Like: did Ollie’s behavior really have to give middle school boy energy? Why didn’t anyone notice Frank’s decline earlier? And should more of us plan to be turned into trees? Plus: Trope talk featuring haunted gothic mansions and cantankerous roommates A quick comparison to Under the Whispering Door by TJ Klune And some emotional devastation that snuck up on us (yes, we cried) Also: Kat's Goodreads math skills are on full display, and Amanda may or may not be searching for fan art of two bickering cherubs.
