Description

At the prestigious Keaton School, perched precariously on the windswept cliffs of Cornwall, the rhythm of academic life is dictated by the turning tides and the shifting hearts of those who walk its hallowed halls. In this heartwarming addition to the beloved series, the focus shifts to the complexities of new beginnings and the courage required to embrace one’s true self. As the school season unfolds, the narrative weaves together the evolving lives of the faculty and students, centering on a tender, unfolding romance that challenges long-held expectations. For the young men at the heart of this story, the school acts as more than just an educational institution; it becomes a sanctuary where identities are forged and the boundaries of friendship are pushed toward something deeper. Against the backdrop of the rugged coast, characters must navigate the delicate balance between professional duty and personal yearning. Jenny Colgan captures the essence of a community in transition with her signature blend of witty banter and poignant emotion. This is a story about finding your tribe in the most unexpected places and learning that, much like the ocean, love and life are governed by currents that demand both patience and bravery to navigate.

great right up until…..

I was really looking forward to reading this book, waiting for it to come out and be available on Libby. And it was consistent with the first two all the way through until the ridiculously abrupt ending which wasn’t even a cliffhanger. Just ….like that! And is there even a fourth book in sight?

Big disappointment after first two books in the series

Worst third book of a series. Lack of continuity from the first two. Ending was abrupt - felt like the author was given a 10 minute deadline to come up with an ending.
