Room and Board
Miriam Parker 304 pages | Published by Dutton
When Gillian's life as a publicist in New York City, she finds herself somewhere she never thought she'd be: back at her old boarding school, as a dorm mother to a group of high school girls. She also didn't expect that the father of one of her students would be Aiden, the boy who broke her heart before they graduated.
I was really looking forward to reading this one - I love cozy boarding school vibes - but it just missed the mark for me. I absolutely loved the setting and the concept but it felt like a bit of a slog to get through.
Overall the writing felt a bit clunky and pretty detached - I didn't get enough of a connection to any character to really pick up on the romance, the scandal, or the friendships formed. It was just pretty bland.
Thanks to NetGalley and Dutton for the advanced e-book!
