Today I went back to university again for the first time after Summer. I missed the structure and normalcy of it, but definitely not the homework and the lectures! To cheer myself up I made a list of Back to School themed books that make it all seem a lot nicer! Anna and the French Kiss - Stephanie PerkinsSYNOPSIS: Anna is sent to a boarding school in Paris and falls in love with a boy who is taken. This book makes going back to school feel less gloomy, because who can be sad to go to school when that school is in the middle of Paris?! Fangirl - Rainbow RowellSYNOPSIS: Simon Snow obsessed Cath has to say goodbye to her comfortable life to go to university. This book always makes me feel warm inside because it tells us that we can move on to the next stage of our lives without losing what makes us us. Eleanor & Park - Rainbow RowellSYNOPSIS: Two shy kids find each other through their shared love of music. Eleanor and Park's bond begins on the schoolbus, which makes this a perfect back to school book. School ain't so bad if that's when you meet the person who makes you feel all giddy inside. Looking for Alaska - John GreenSYNOPSIS: Miles Halter tries to understand life as he goes to boarding school, but everything is turned upside down by a girl called Alaska. This book exemplifies everything cool about boarding school, like living with your friends and sneaking around campus. Hello, Goodbye, and Everything in Between - Jennifer E. SmithSYNOPSIS: Clare and Aidan spent their last night before they both go off to different colleges together, and have to decide whether to stay together or break up. For many people this is the start of their first year at college, and they have to leave a lot of people behind, like friends, family, and maybe even boyfriends or girlfriends. I'm lucky enough to have my university quite close to the town where I'm from, but many are not as lucky. This book is definitely relatable. That's it for the Back to School books! Hope everyone's had a good Back to School time!!
