enjoyed this one through & through
emotional mysterious reflective medium-paced

a quiet book set during the backdrop of WWII in an isolated boarding school. the drama between the school girls is what drives the book forward until the final third, and it reads pretty "slice of lifey". as someone who doesn't enjoy WWII books in general, i found myself really liking this and connecting with the characters. 

literally so good. why did I like it?
