I was surprised by how much I liked this book, given how many less-than-great reviews it got. There were a few unanswered questions, but I really liked it overall. 3.5⭐️

i really, really wanted to like this book. the premise sounded wonderful—six college students playing a game full of suspense and mystery. the writing, however, fell so short. all the characters were charismatic, rich, and white with little to no personality. jolyon was the most insufferable character i’ve ever come across. whenever the book was in his point of view i wanted to skip it. i’m a fan of books that have a sinister twist to friendship, but this didn’t work for me.
