I saw a TikTok the other day asking "what was the last book that you read that felt like it was written for you?" and I honestly didn't have an answer...until now. This is because my drive in choosing books is escapism. I like to read things that don't correlate with my life. When I requested this book on NetGalley as an ARC I only chose it because as a self-proclaimed Anglophile- the Union Jack emblazoned umbrella sold me. But three chapters in and I had a strange feeling come over me. A very Truman Show-esque feeling like this was written about MY English Experience. Without giving away too much I will list a few dead on similarities: this group had a pair of twins that stuck together like glue, a student who decided to go where and when he wanted and never really was around, vocal complaints about the amount of work, death of a beloved animal, and a couple with their share of issues. On top of that the writing style was new and fun, the comedy was gold, and the amount of words that I had to look up was challenging but in the best possible way. 2024 will be a decade since my study abroad and this was so nostalgic and cozy for me and I will love this book forever. Maybe even buy a copy when my husband and I are having our own English Experience next year!
