Cara Ruegg’s Reviews > Clara Poole and the Long Way Round > Status Update

I feel like if this book were fantasy and not set in modern day England, I could brush off the complete ridiculousness of the rules like how this underage child signed a contract she cannot get out of even though it was under duress and without parental approval. Likewise, the one girl passing out at breakfast and her mom just saying it is because she likes her sweets, nothing is seen as an emergency.
