This May End Badly by Samantha Markum
3.0
This is a YA book about a rivalry between two boarding schools. One is a all boys school and the other is a all girls school. Everything changes when there is an announcement that the schools will merge. Our FMC, Doe, is completely against the merge because she thinks the girls will loose a lot of opportunities when the schools becomes co-ed. However, her boarding school is in a difficult financial situation and the merge will help with that.
This was a very well rounded YA book with a lot of interesting themes that were discussed throughout the story. There is a conversation about gender identities, sexuality, sexual abuse (and even a me-too movement). The romance is pretty much close-door, nothing explicit but I liked to see the characters developing and working together to solve some of their issues.
The main character is very head strong and sometimes does some bad decisions because of pride and her narrow minded convictions, and even though that could be annoying, I could see myself at that age doing something similar, so maybe I'm not the main target audience for this book hehe
anyway... it was fine. Maybe someone younger would enjoy a lot this book :)
