This was a difficult book for me. I hate Great Expectations, so to read a book inspired by it? Wasn’t really something I was clamouring to do, but I did because I love Ginger and her books.For me, this book was tough going. It was only when I separated this from Great Expectations where it got easier. It went faster still when Lily and Henry hit halfway through their sophomore year.Henry and Lily are of the same vein of the Dickens classic, but I did feel Lily was a little bit young and immature, possible too much for the character.But it is a great story, and the world building here was so vivid. This is a great homage to Dickens, so give it a try.
