I‘ve had this on my TBR for a while after reading Dear Committee Members a few years ago. This is satire but still familiar to anyone who has worked in higher ed or who has traveled with a group. I really enjoyed it! The MC is just a grumpy as before but he becomes more endearing as this one goes on. #JumpStartSummer

All of these are humorous, have heart and won‘t bring you any “back to school blues” 👍

LiteraryinPA Fun idea! And also, I didn‘t know Julie S had a third book! 10mo
Aims42 @LiteraryinLawrence Yep! The hardcover came out last August and the paperback was just published at the end of July this year, so very new for that edition 🙌 10mo
