Top notch

Across the Hall by Kat Jackson

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This is a lovely, heart-warming reading experience, that warranted my five stars for the simple fact alone, that Kat moves her wonderfully crafted, lovable characters along the cute story line gently, avoiding any contrived overly dramatic plot devices, concentrating on very human hurts and defences, the characters “live” through in a surprisingly reality simulating development. On top of that the humour permeating most of the dialogues is wonderful.

As a writer myself I was tempted to expand on the teachers, you end up wishing you had in your own school experience, but I kept all the welling up memories and feelings to myself as inspirations for another short story collection, perhaps. That is how much this novel spoke to me.

I highly recommend reading this.
