Perhaps I should not have read this immediately following The Headmistress. I thought that it would be helpful to have the story fresh in my mind, but it felt quite repetitive.  

Unlike many books that are retellings from a different POV, for whatever reason this one felt like it covered the exact same conversations more often. It didn’t feel as additive as I would have expected.

that said, it still was well written, and overall a good story.
