I love a good messed up boarding school thriller. This was a very gripping listen while I was on a road trip. It was definitely a little too YA for my taste at times and I didn’t love the insta romance that happened. I feel like the story could have been just fine without it. But I really was so hooked and had so many questions! I probably won’t read the next book since the thing that kept me hooked was trying to figure out what exactly was going on at the school. I feel like the way it ended didn’t make me feel the need to continue to the next one. An interesting story indeed

In the current climate of the country where women are fast losing our rights and our autonomy, this is a hard read. We spend a lot of time in the full misogyny of their world and it’s sufficating. I finished the book to breathe. I’m not interested in following up with the other two books.

I liked this a lot! An inner child deep in my heart feels pretty powerful after the fact, definitely check content warnings to see if it’s a story for you. I’m intrigued to see where it could go from here
