Laura Wood's A Sky Painted Gold
Well, I enjoyed this VERY much. It’s one of those books where you are prettttty sure it will all work out okay, but there is just enough narrative tension to keep you hooked! The story is set in 1929 Cornwall, where a teenage girl finds refuge in the library of an abandoned house—at least until the Bright Young Things who own it come back and she gets sucked into their whirlwind. The story of a poorer person getting seduced by the wealthy lifestyle of a new friend is not a new one by any means, but I liked the characters here a lot and the way the story depicted friendship (and ambition!). And I was super here for the various romances! My only minor complaint was that the narrative voice sometimes over-explained things. But in general, this was very cute. A-.
