“Hands that never touch. Lips that never meet. The Almost Lovers, never to be.”

Rae Hachton,
Frankie's Monster
“Frankie and Estella want your sperm for their baby,” I began. He blinked , then bent down and kissed me on the nose. “Will they buy me dinner first?” ― R.K. Lilley, Lovely Trigger
“Run, sweetheart, run.” ― Rae Hachton, Frankie's Monster
“He just loved her in a limited way. Loved her best when she needed help. Loved her best when he could set the boundaries and make the rules. Loved her best when she was a smaller, younger person than he was, with no social power.” ― E. Lockhart, The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks
“Where is Frankie, anyway?" Dad asks. "It's almost noon. I'm surprised you two can stand the separation."I take a deep breath and gulp down some orange juice.Well, Dad, first Frankie lied to me about losing her virginity to the foreign exchange student on the soccer field, and how your first time can't be special and all that. Then we decided to have this twenty boy contest but we only met, like, half, and she lied again about sleeping with one of them when really they just kind of fooled around naked and broke up. Meanwhile, when I was casting off my virginity with boy number five (or was he six?), Frankie read my journal and found out that I was in love with Matt for a million years and by the way, right after you took that picture of us with all the cake and frosting, he kissed me and started this whole long thing that we weren't allowed to tell her about. Frankie was so mad that she threw my journal into the bottom of the ocean, where it was banished for all eternity with a lovesick mermaid who cries out pieces of sea glass. Are you going to eat that bacon?..."I'll probably see her later," I say.” ― Sarah Ockler, Twenty Boy Summer
“The articles were extremely eye-opening. Not just in Teen Vogue but in Seventeen and CosmoGirl as well. They were all about being yourself, staying natural, loving your body as is, and going green! The messages were the exact opposite of Vik and Viv's.Hmmmmm. Frankie turned to face the full-length mirror that was up against the yellow wardrobe. She opened her robe and examined her body. Fit, muscular, and exquisitely proportioned, she agreed with the magazines. So what if her skin was mint? Or her limbs were attached with seams? According to the magazines, which were - no offense! - way more in touch with the times than her parents were, she was suppose to love her body just the way it was. And she did! Therefor if the normies read magazines (which obviously they did, because they were in them), then they would love her, too. Natural was in.Besides she was Daddy's perfect little girl. And who didn't love perfect?” ― Lisi Harrison, Monster High
“The bed reminded me of a lifestyle. It reminded me of Frankie. “It was Frankie and James, wasn’t it? Did those kinky fucks bring you over to the dark side?” ― R.K. Lilley, Lovely Trigger
“You’re never in love with anyone the way you are when you’re eighteen,” ― Mitch Albom, The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto
“I loved Frank...I loved him alot. But by that time, Jamie was my heart and the breath of my body. I couldn't leave him. I couldn't.” ― Diana Gabaldon, Dragonfly in Amber
“Viktor was swinging a leather duffle and wearing a black Adidas tracksuit and his favorite brown UGG slippers with a hole in the toe."Worn and old, just like Viv," he'd say when Frankie made fun of them, and then his wife would swat him on the arm. But Frankie knew he was just joking, because Viveka was the type of woman you wished was in a magazine just so you could stare at her violet-colored eyes and shiny black hair without being called a stalker or a freak.” ― Lisi Harrison, Monster High
“The only thing that will ever be real, is this moment,' I turned to the statue, 'when you made me feel alive, when you made me feel real, when I felt like you really love me. Now? I'm just your monster, Frankie. I will always be a monster.” ― Rae Hachton, Frankie's Monster
“Why did you do all that, Frankie?" asked Porter. "I mean, it was brilliant, what you did, what you made us do - but why would you bother? That's what I can't figure out."Frankie sighed. "Have you ever heard of the panopticon?" she asked him.Porter shook his head."Have you ever been in love?"He shook his head again. "Then I can't explain it," Frankie said.They went inside and took the geometry test.” ― E. Lockhart, The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks
“Do not cry for losing blood. Not for something you love.” ― Mitch Albom, The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto
“I turn around and start walking, careful to keep my head down so no one sees the moment when the huge smile I was fighting finally breaks free. It takes every ounce of self-control not to look back and see if he's watching.” ― Kami Garcia, The Lovely Reckless
“Frankie raised an eyebrow. Look at you getting all sentimental. You know where to find me.Delaney nodded. That doesn’t mean you want to be found. Come on. One drink.” ― holly hood
“Frankie scanned her eyes. I don’t ask for things. I take them.” ― Holly Hood
“May you never face them, little one. But her prayed went unanswered. Frankie is a man now. Private Frank Mason Jr. of the Suffolk Regiment. Stationed in Algeria, bravely fighting the Nazis, just as his father fought the Germans before him.” ― Julie Berry, Lovely War
“When I kiss you, it will be THE kiss, not just A kiss.” ― Rae Hachton, Frankie's Monster
“I've never wanted a heart as much as I want yours.” ― Rae Hachton, Frankie's Monster
