Thanks for the #Two4Tuesday tag @TheSpineView

1️⃣ After grade school I was hit or miss. If liked the subject (English, writing, History) I was good but if I wasn‘t interested (Math) I didn‘t apply myself & was not great!

2️⃣ I loved the Finishing School series & Mademoiselle Geraldine‘s Finishing Academy for Young Ladies of Quality seems like a fun school to learn useful skills like espionage, poisoning & proper curtsies.

Tag—you‘re it!🤗

#Two4Tuesday

1. I was the student that actually liked doing homework…and then I decided I liked school so much I went to graduate school. So yeah, a pretty good student.

2. The tagged book is one of my all time favorite YA books by one of my all time favorite authors with one of my all time favorite covers (which I once had a very memorable conversation about with Dan Santat).

1. I was a pretty good student in high school and less so in college. (Big fish, small pond,etc.)
2. Tagged book takes place in a school. I enjoyed it on audio.

“Fish“ was in my current read, hooray. Don't know where I'm gonna find “Portugese“, though. Cruising Libby now...

Stevie still not only has to solve the Truly Devious case from 1936, but also her classmate‘s. Her parents want to pull her out of the school for her safety. How will she stay? Will David be able to help her w/ the case?

3.75⭐️ This one was a little better than the 1st one because there was a bit more mystery. It was still slow & had almost no romance.

Overall, I liked this installment of the Wayward Children. In this one we get to explore the other school for children who have entered mysterious doors. The one thing I didn‘t love was the body shaming, it just felt unnecessary for the plot. 4⭐️

Seiji and Nicholas are getting so close... in their own special way. Really cute.

I'm very curious how/when the secret about Nicholas' father is going to come out to the others, and how he'll react.

I'm gonna be so mad when the story just *stops* at the end of next volume, aren't I.

Ugh, I couldn't resist it, I grabbed the next volume. I LOVED the scenes with Seiji helping Nicholas learn to hit the tennis ball, it was so unexpected and awkward and yet so perfect.

Also, Bobby continues to be adorable, and I love that nothing at all is said about his gender non-conforming.

Basically carries straight on from volume 2, and continues the same themes/trajectory -- if volume 1 didn't work for you, nor will volume 2. Just as I said in the review of the first volume, it's predictable -- I think I know how things will end up.

I did find myself shipping Harvard and Aiden incredibly. I mean they're also good as best friends, and I love that for them too. The way Aiden drops everything for Harvard? Cute.

shanaqui NB: this is not to excuse Aiden's behaviour toward his hookups. Sheesh, he's awful. 2w
