Welcome to Litsy!

My weekend is all booked 🤣🤣 JC just makes me feel all warm inside ❤️ I‘ve got the third in this series but I have to read some library books first and then I have to wait for the the next 3 in the series to be published

On to number 2 ❤️❤️❤️

Casey and I are back together for maybe as long as a month and a half! Whee!

I didn‘t like Jenny Colgan‘s first adult boarding school book, so I‘m surprised to report I‘m enjoying the follow-up. There‘s still a fair amount of fat-shaming, but she does delve into issues around disordered eating this time. We‘ll see how that plays out in the back half. The humour seems less cruel in this one, too. I hope that growth‘ll be a series-spanning trend.

Just like with the first one, I can't get over the VERY 2000s obsession with being skinny and how that makes one "hotter," but at least restricted eating actually led to an eating disorder for one of the girls, as it would irl. I'm basically just here for Maggie, David, and Veronica at this point. (The train!!! My God!!!!!!) #contemporaryfiction #britlit #boardingschool

Even though the first book in this rereleased series garnered a pan from me (I felt even the narrator was in on the childhood fat shaming), it seems I cannot give up on a J-Co series. I still don‘t love this series, but it‘s growing on me, and dang it, now I‘m awaiting Book3 to see what Maggie does for love.

Very good. This series just gets better with every book with its interesting characters and hard hitting story ( although if you do suffer with food related illnesses then its not such a good story), which is done very well and can see the research that has gone into it. Recommend.

Roll on October 2019 for the next one!
