Melina Marchetta, You are a genius. I may be a little in love with you, as weird as that sounds. Don't worry I won't become a creepy stalker...but yeah. p.s. Don't ever stop writing awesome because this world needs just that. Your creepy fan, Rashika
After a long, tiring day when your overworked brain has taken a hike and you don't have the strength left in you to plow through the prose of a classic or read anything even remotely serious or saddening, a piece of YA fiction like Saving Francesca comes as a blessing.It is the kind of story which t...
'"Kind of interested in you, " he laughs, as if he can't believe what he's hearing. "I'm kind of interested in calculus and ancient Roman warfare. You don't use words like kind of interested to describe how I feel about you.'"**swoon**
4.5 starsI love the real-ness of it all. I would read this over and over again. This is my first Marchetta, and now I just have to read The Piper's Son and her other books! >w

At the surface, Saving Francesca may seem like a simple coming-of-age story, but it's Marchetta's ability to write honest narration and really bring her characters to life that makes this different from other YA novels. She's definitely becoming one of my favorite YA authors. It is at times laugh-ou...
I had read Saving Francesca’s predecessor, The Piper’s Son, a year and a half before I read this book. I knew some of what ultimately happened to the characters and who ended up with whom.
