The first book of Jenny Colgan’s delightful new four-part series, set at a charming English boarding school on the sea.
Maggie went to the window and opened it wide, inhaling the lovely salt air off the sea. Why had she never lived by the sea before? Why had she always looked out on housing estates and not the little white hulls of trawlers bobbing off in the distance?
It’s gloriously sunny in Cornwall as the school year starts at the little boarding school by the sea. Maggie, the newest teacher at Downey House, is determined to make her mark. She’s delighted by her new teaching job, but will it come at the expense of her relationship with her safe, dependable boyfriend Stan?
Simone is excited and nervous: she’s won a scholarship to the prestigious boarding school and wants to make her parents proud. Forced to share a room with the glossy, posh girls of Downey House, she needs to find a friend, fast.
Fliss is furious. She’s never wanted to go to boarding school and hates being sent away from her home. As Simone tries desperately to fit in, Fliss tries desperately to get out.
Over the course of one year, friendships will bloom and lives will be changed forever. Life at the Little School by the Sea is never dull…

Mysig och bra historia i grunden men får lågt betyg pga smalhetshetsen som skiner igenom hela tiden. Väldigt tråkigt och bakåtsträvande i en bok som handlar om unga tjejer. Alldeles för mycket fokus på vikt och utseende tyvärr. Gillar Colgans böcker i vanliga fall och har inte alls fått samma vinnarfråga henne tidigare, sånt fokus på vikt, vikthets och utseende. Boken hade kunnat stå sig mycket bättre utan dessa ständiga kommentarer om vikten hos tjejerna.

För kort! 🙃 Störde mig dock lite på det återkommande temat "om hon vore smal skulle hon vara söt" men det speglar iof hur många tänker.....

Mysig, men undrar om den hade varit bättre som e-bok eller med en lite mindre dramatisk uppläsare 😊

Svårt att hänga med i vem som var vem, hatade smalhets-hetsen, älskar vanligtvis hennes böcker men denna kunde jag inte lyssna klart på…

Lite mycket prat om att Simone inte är vacker pga att hon inte är smal. Känns ”gammalt”. I övrigt mkt bra!

En underbar bok som lyfter tonåringars tankar så som de är.

Mycket besviken. Älskar normalt Jenny Colgans böcker, men denna var ganska trist. Tvärtemot hennes vanliga intressanta persongalleri, dramatiska natur och god mat, får vi här en ganska förutsägbar historia, med föga engagerande huvudpersoner. Dessutom gillade jag verkligen inte uppläsarens röst. Jag upplevde den som gnällig och skarp, med rätt överdrivna brytningar och dialekter.

Älskar höra brittiska inläsare. Men kanske aning dramatiskt? Oavsett gillar jag Jenny Colgans böcker o denna oxå!
