I liked the movie better but this was still such a fun book to read and I’m already on the second one. The one thing I would change about it though is the emphasis on corsets being an abomination, which is mentioned numerous times and in great detail. We get it. Corsets were rib crushing. Let’s move on now, please.

This was an adorable little book that made me want to have boarding school adventures with newlyfound friends, and eat biscuits all day. The chapters are written in a very unique fashion, with some being only a few lines long to some spanning a few pages. Although the story was very predictable, I think it would make a great children’s film on Disney+. What I found a tad bit annoying in the book were the footnotes as they laid out everything in the book, and therefore taking away any air of mystery the book could have. Perhaps it may be because I am not the target audience for the book, but I do think that it’s better to show than to tell every detail.
