J'ai remarqué que lorsqu'on imagine des choses, elles ne se produisent jamais dans la vraie vie, donc je me retiens.

I really, really like Dodie Smith's writing style. This isn't a book with a lot of action and adventure, but the narrative was great and it kept me interested. I thought the book could have been formatted better, though, to remind readers that it's a journal. All of the characters were well-written, in my opinion. I did not expect the small plot twist at the end and was content with the ending.

I wasn't sure how i felt about her situation with her love interest at first, but after thinking about it a bit, i decided i was okay with it.

(I'm not feeling very eloquent today.)

So I´m pretty much bored by this book and skimmed throught the rest of it (and even the ending is meh). Just not my kind of book. DNF at page 115.

Loved this charming, whimsical, and strangely sad coming of age novel set in 1930s England. Blogged about it here.
