I LOVE Jilly Bond's way of reading! Yes, the story is the typical teenage-girl-being-shipped-off-to-boarding-school-and-totally-hating-it-but-coming-to-terms-with-it-in-the-end-and-making-cool-friends kind of story and mostly very predictable but still very enjoyably told and brought to life by the amazing Jilly Bond! Can't wait to start the next one in the series!
