I received a free review copy of this book from St. Martin’s Press and Wednesday Books through NetGalley. All opinions in my review are voluntary and completely my own.
Evie is a new student at a boarding school, looking for a change after a rough falling-out with people at home. Unfortunately, her new start begins with her being assigned to an all-male dorm building.
This book was a quick, cute read, though I’m definitely older than the target audience. It had teen angst and high school drama that was sometimes hard for me to relate to, especially when it felt like there was hardly any adult supervision. We follow Evie, who strikes an unlikely friendship with Salem. I enjoyed the relationship between the two, which had a lot of fun banter. I wasn’t really a fan of Evie trying to change her image and the rule-breaking that was involved, though I think the ultimate message from her journey is a positive one.
