The Faculty Lounge: A Novel by Jennifer Mathieu

5.0

Everyone should read this. Teachers will relate and non-teachers will get a sense of what it's like to work in a school.

As a teacher, this book is incredibly relatable. Each chapter is told from a different character's perspective over the course of a school year. Mostly teachers, but also administrators, the school nurse, the school counselor, and the janitor. Their stories are intertwined and intersect, and all are flawed yet fundamentally good people who just want to do the right thing. I loved seeing the story come full circle.

Thank you to Penguin Random House and Net Galley for an ARC to review.
