Claudine at School by Colette
4.0
4/5 stars
I would probably LOATHE Claudine and most of her friends if I met them due to Claudine's highkey holier (well, better at least) than thou mindset and how they're all weirdly mean to each other at times, but they were so utterly charming to read about nevertheless.
It follows Claudine's adventures in school (shocking), where she competes for the affection of her (female) teacher, takes her exams even though she's not planning on going back to school the next year, and everything in between as she navigates the life of a young student with independency just in reach. The student-teacher aspect of it all was... well, not something I would normally read, but this whole book was supposed to be shocking, and how can you not adore Claudine's untamed and risque nature? Everything she does, she does it well, which could be both annoying and admirable. I wouldn't want to be her friend, but reading about her was fun indeed. I definitely want to read the rest of the books!
