The Fourth School by the Sea Novel

De: Jenny Colgan

Narrado por: Eilidh Beaton

The long-awaited and never-before published finale in New York Times bestselling author Jenny Colgan’s delightful School by the Sea series.

After all those lessons, it’s time to graduate....

Beloved literature teacher Maggie Adair loves her life at the prestigious Downey House boarding school on the gloriously sunny, windy English coast. It was there that she found her footing as a teacher and fell in love with her colleague David—the two great anchors of her life. But these days Maggie’s feeling restless, lured by the promise of a different life back in her Scottish hometown. How can you follow your heart when it seems to be taking you in two directions at once?

Meanwhile, Maggie’s favorite students are abuzz at the thought of graduation and set to fly the nest to their next adventure. What will life hold for mercurial Fliss, glamorous Alice, and shy, hard-working Simone when they finally finish their studies at the school by the sea? Will Maggie stay to welcome the next class of girls, or will she too graduate to new adventures?

Another great School by the Sea book.

I’ve really enjoyed Jenny Colgan’s School by the Sea series. This is book 4. I will be waiting and checking for book 5 regularly.

It feels like the author gave up

I really enjoyed the 3 previous books in the series but this one was pretty awful. I only finished it because I was invested in the charters from previous books.

very slow

extremely slow and predictable, non existent character development, in my opinion. Also a bit "twee"

Another lovely installment

Book 4 has carried one sweet with the stories of the teachers and students of the school(s) by the sea. The tender dramas of a brilliant case of teenagers are engaging, infuriating, and heartwarming. The private lives of the teachers hold no less drama! You feel like you’re seeing this small slice of their lives, and I personally can’t wait to see what comes next for them.

The narrator annoys me some, though. Why does everyone have basically the same accent? At the very least, Maggie - who loves her Scottish homeland so much - should have a Scottish accent! This seems a consistent drawback of this audiobook series.

a little disappointed

didn't really progress the story as much as I had hoped. not a very satisfying ending for a four book series. surprised there is not a fifth and Final book coming.
