Review: Tessa - Kayla Tirrell
Review: Tessa - Book #2 Shelfbrooke Academy Series - Kayla Tirrell - June 2019
Wanting a YA series to read?
I have been enjoying so far the Shelfbrooke Academy series as each book is a
loosely based rendition of a famous classic novel/play. Tessa is based on the
classic novel Tess of the D'Ubervilles. In Tessa, we meet adopted daughter
Tessa Fielder who has just learned she has inherited a lot of money and is, in
fact, a long-lost descendant of the D'Villes name. Tessa is then given the
chance to attend Shelfbrooke Academy and is given a private room. While at the
school, her first friends are both scholarship students whom she connects well
with as despite the newfound wealth, she is still Tessa Fielder who was adopted
and saved from a life in the Foster Care system. When she arrives at the school
though, someone knows her true identity and believes that she should embrace the
D'Ville name which of course isn't Tessa's intentions. She later learns that
her family the D'Villes were a founding family of Shelfbrooke Academy and it
has been decades since a D'Ville attended the school. Angelo St Clare is
another of the wealthy families but he hates the wealth and wants to be a
'normie' and find someone who loves him for him and not his money. What happens
though when he starts to fall for Tessa and vice versa, only to discover her
true identity and believes that Tessa deliberately lied to him. Can Angelo get
over his "crutch" and accept all parts of Tessa or will it be too
late when Angelo's arch-nemesis Alex Stokes - another of the wealthy families
sets his eyes on Tess for his gain. Find out all this and more in this
cutesy YA novel. Fans of Jenni James "The Jane Austen Diaries" will
enjoy the Shelfbrooke Academy series.
