Monthly Book Review: February 2019

The Broken Girls by Simone St. James - There's nothing romantic about Vermont's school for wayward girls, Idlewild Hall. This story weaves a small town's secrets, two murders and a hint of WWII into a great mystery.

My Oxford Year by Julia Whelan - I loved this chick lit recommended by one of my favorite bloggers as one of her best reads of 2018. Ella from Ohio is at Oxford on a Rhodes Scholarship which has been her life's plan for years. Ella seems to have everything together until a chance meeting at a chip shop changes her life. 

Cheerful Weather for the Wedding by Julia Strachey - A novella written in 1932 about Dolly Thatcham's wedding day and the choice of marrying for love vs. security.
