Ok so... did I actually like this more than the Maxton Hall tv show?!?! Um yeah! I LOVED getting some more details and getting to imagine it all happening (but still having some basis of what the characters and settings might look like 👀)! For some reason, in the show, James seems so much worse than he does in the book (or maybe that's just a toxic book boyfriend for me lol) but I kinda enjoyed him more as a book character! You can see him soften and get hurt versus in the show where it can be a little less depth. I also adored Ruby's character! As a stressed out, fairly uptight girlie, I loved getting to hear her narrate about her planner and her colors but also losing control of things (like her feelings for James 🥹).
ALSO, for some reason, the romance felt a lot more like the main point of the story but also about Ruby trying to get into Oxford! I loved having a little more depth to the situation and the characters! If you didn't like the Maxton Hall show, I would maybe try out the book anyway because it had similar but also kind of different vibes! Also, if you liked the show, I'd also recommend the book!
The book ended with a cliffhanger/heartbreaking ending and I am so glad I already have access to book 2 because that was WILD! 👀
