My Oxford Year

3.8 AVERAGE

emotional hopeful reflective sad medium-paced

This was such a heartwarming and heartbreaking story at the same time. In the beginning, I really liked the calm ambience of the book and the Oxford descriptions, etc. I truly felt like I was there instead of Ella. However, after a while, the book became a little monotonous and overly dramatic. I think it might not have been the exact right time for me to read this, but overall, I liked it!
