I found that it reminded me a bit of The Lords of Discipline by Pat Conroy - one of my favorites. That one doesn't focus on a female student, but also details the life of a cadet in military school.Lark Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01227594042705073825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247299972163313175.post-35670376308959484622014-12-26T03:36:24.848-05:002014-12-26T03:36:24.848-05:00This isn't usually my thing but I have heard s...This isn't usually my thing but I have heard so many good things that I kind of have to read it!Britthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08179222669149836812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247299972163313175.post-31958758884345833072014-12-23T05:28:20.418-05:002014-12-23T05:28:20.418-05:00LOVE how it's about a girl in the military adn...LOVE how it's about a girl in the military adn it's a contemporary!!

I'm glad Sam was like that in Rites of Passage. I'm not sure how much I would like a novel like this, but I feel like this one's more for my older sister who was in the army. :)BookOwl93https://www.blogger.com/profile/00275953487038247428noreply@blogger.com
