A return to Compass Court Boarding School, and someone is kissing Rose under the mistletoe... Rose has been told to stay well away from Leo Flanagan. In fact, her parents insist upon it, as do his. But they can't deny the attraction flaring between them. Will they still be able to keep their distance? It’s going to be difficult, especially as they can’t seem to stop secretly kissing…
This book focused more on Rose and Leo than the characters from the previous book, although Ellie and Nate were still in this book. I felt really sorry for Rose when Diana started interfering in her and Leo’s relationship though. It seemed really unfair that she was trying to keep them apart, although the bombshell she dropped at the end kind-of put that in perspective!
There was also some romance between Sophie and Jack, and I think the next book will probably be about them.
Sophie’s ‘bad habit’ of reading very late with her kindle also made me laugh!
It had been so long since I'd read the first book in the series, it was good to have a recap of who everyone was in the first couple of chapters.
The last boarding school type book I read was Anna and the French Kiss, which I absolutely loved! I felt this book was too short to establish a really good connection with the characters involved, but it was still a sweet read.
The whole "waiting before texting back so as not to appear too eager" took me back to my single days. I found it amusing to read but I don't miss it at all!
Although the plot was great I found it quite confusing switching from different perspectives randomly at the end of paragraphs. It may just have been the kindle format but it would’ve been better if it was more obvious who’s perspective it changed too. Equally half of the Epilogue was completely irrelevant to the story so unless those characters reappear in the next book I don’t see what the point of it was!
The tone is more poignant than Book 1 but the character development is much deeper. I liked their flirting and felt the obvious attraction. All the characters now feel like real people, they are not perfect people, they definitely have some personality flaws or some difficulties in their lives, but the book is still funny, fast paced, and of course it all works out. Hurry up with book 3.
Awww my heart 3 poor Sophie, honestly :( but on the bright side, ASDFGHJKL rose and Leo <3 This book was a roller coaster of emotions, like it's predecessor, and I honestly can't wait to start the next one :D
This was better than the first book, enjoyed the characters a lot more and it looks like there gonna be a book 3 about Flora and Gabriel *fingers crossed* I can't wait! they're gonna be a hot mess <3
I liked it for a quick read. It was kind of fast and somewhat inconsistent, but that may have just been because it was on my computer. Other than that, it was a good quick book.
