Cherrington Academy (Cherrington, #1) by Rebecca J. Caffery
3.0
Thank you sooooo much to SRL publishing for sending me an e-copy when I couldn’t find one! Cheers to the sequel!
Recommendation: 7/10
Trigger Warnings: Homophobia, cheating, blackmail, lying, death, cancer, therapy
Representation: Gay, Bisexual, Questioning
Cherrington Academy is a contemporary YA novel about a boy who changes schools mid junior year to escape his bullies. Logan makes new friends, falls in love, experiences heartbreak, and more in the halls of his prestigious boarding school. He navigates the remainder of the school year as well as a web of lies and betrayal that leads to a cliffhanger ending.
Overall, this was a good book! Personally I like a happy ending and do not enjoy cliffhangers, but I am very excited for the sequel! I felt all of the characters were fully developed and I enjoyed learning about a full cast rather than staying one character’s head. They each felt different and distinct. My only wish is a perspective shift rather than Logan solely narrating.
I liked the mention of mental health and the healthy stigma to therapy that was illustrated in the book. And I also loved how the characters were just queer and no one made a huge deal about it- very refreshing!
