The Frank Diary of Anne
by Chloe Whitehorn
One girl's thoughts on past loves, family tragedy and YouTube.
If you thought Romeo and Juliet had it rough, you haven't met Anne. Anne couldn’t control who she fell in love with, but should her mother be allowed to? As a child Anne played make-believe and hide-and-seek in her attic. Now, on the eve of her wedding, in her favorite hiding space, she discovers something that has been hidden for years that changes everything. Through her memories and video diaries Anne pieces together the answer to the question, “was it all real?” Sometimes playing pretend is the only way to live the reality you want.
