À propos de cet audio

 From #1 bestselling author of The Perfect Couple, Elin Hilderbrand, and her daughter, Shelby Cunningham, deliver the irresistible, deliciously scandalous story of one drama-filled year at a New England boarding school.

It’s move-in day at Tiffin Academy and amidst the happy chaos of friends reuniting, selfies uploading, and cars unloading, shocking news arrives: America Today just ranked Tiffin the number two boarding school in the country. It’s a seventeen-spot jump—was there a typo? The dorms need to be renovated, their sports teams always come in last place, and let’s just say Tiffin students are known for being more social than academic. On the other hand, the campus is exquisite, class sizes are small, and the dining hall is run by an acclaimed New York chef. And they do have fun—lots of parties and school dances, and a piano man plays in the student lounge every Monday night.

But just as the rarefied air of Tiffin is suffused with self-congratulation, the wheels begin to turn—and then they fall off the bus. One by one, scandalous blind items begin to appear on phones across Tiffin’s campus, thanks to a new app called ZipZap, and nobody is safe. From Davi Banerjee, international influencer and resident queen bee, to Simone Bergeron, the new and surprisingly young history teacher, to Charley Hicks, a transfer student who seems determined not to fit in, to Cordelia Spooner, Admissions Director with a somewhat idiosyncratic methodology—everyone has something to hide.

As if high school wasn’t dramatic enough ... As the year unfolds, bonds are forged and broken, secrets are shared and exposed, and the lives of Tiffin’s students and staff are changed forever. The Academy is Elin Hilderbrand’s fresh, buzzy take on boarding school life, and a thrilling new direction from one of America’s most satisfying and popular storytellers.

I waited for this new Hilderbrand book (HUGE fan of hers and have read/listened to all her books)…wasn’t sure if this was going to be YA, but when I saw that it wasn’t, I figured I’d give it a listen. Was expecting more, based on the description of how the characters had secrets etc etc…and kept waiting for “more” to happen. A few time I thought about stopping, but figured I’d give it a chance.
It was okay….wanted to love it, but it was missing that Hilderbrand magic in some way.

Fell short of my E.Hilderbrand expectations

I guess I missed the whole point of this book. Kept building but never really played out. Ending felt deflated.

Fluff

Performance was excellent, as usual. Everything else, not so much.
I was really looking forward to a new EH world to dive into… What did I listen to? All I remember is that the plot was so cliche and lacklustre at the same time. I finished it a month ago and can’t even remember the characters names or storylines. I won’t be reading the series.

Boring

Very disappointing. Despite the strong reviews, this book fell far short of expectations. The story felt extremely vapid and, frankly, dull. The main cliffhanger was never resolved and seemed to be simply forgotten. Additionally, whenever a more advanced word was used, it was immediately followed by a definition, as if the reader couldn’t possibly understand it—which I found incredibly irritating. Narration was only redeeming quality.

Boring and Unfinished
