I loved [b:The Carnival at Bray|22571247|The Carnival at Bray|Jessie Ann Foley|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1408469642l/22571247._SY75_.jpg|42037695] and when I saw Jessie Ann Foley had a new book out I was like "Yay" and then I realized that actually she's had 3 books come out?? Time flies and also maybe they weren't all very well-publicized? AnyWAY I read all 3 of her latest books this week and I liked them all but I liked this one the best. I think her books are a little hard to sell because they're mostly like, realistic coming of age stories with a strong voice and a dose of grief to them. This one--about a ~bad girl~ getting sent to a reform school--maybe has the best hook to it, and I really loved this exploration of Mia's life. I think it's something that a lot of teens can relate to and maybe also consider their own experiences and/or their perceptions of some of their peers differently.
