Malory Towers for grown ups. Nice, easy and cosy. However, strangely fatphobic. Of a time I suppose!

Wow, that book was awful. I love Jenny Colgan's other series, so I thought I'd try this one out. SO different. Full of fat shaming. Would not recommend.

I love Jenny Colgan's books and I really enjoyed this one and am eager to find out more about the characters. The only complaint I have is in regards to the frequent fat-shaming and obsession with the girls' weight and eating and exercise habits. It seemed a bit overkill. I hope that it isn't as big a focus in the next 2 books in the series.
