    A character where you notice their developments throughout the story helps make for a good one. And where you have an extension of lovable characters, it makes for a reread.

    This sounds exactly the sort of book I'd love – a return to school and multiple time frames to keep me guessing. Also, that's a stunning cover pic, Jodie!

    Thank you for this very organized and clear review! This book sounds like it would be of interest to me. The boarding school/flashbacks to the past remind me a bit of The Broken Girls by Simone St. James, which I really enjoyed.

    This review was very informative and I'd be interested in reading this book. For me it's the different time periods that are set in the book. Great piece.

    I love literary fiction, especially stories that often take place in England or have roots in English schools, so this book interests me! I love that you share your honest thoughts while not revealing any spoilers. 🙂

    I like the sound of this, they don't have to be likeable for me to enjoy it most of the time so I don't think that would be an issue. I love that it's set over three different periods of her life too. Great review!

    This seems like a really good story. I'll like to read about how Josephine developed from her time in school till she's married.

    Ahh it's a shame that the characters didn't work for you – I'm the same that I want to be able to engage with the characters. I'm glad that it didn't undermine the entire book for you though. Great review!
