As for the book; I loved Joelle Wellington’s writing style. She made the book feel dark and atmospheric and creepy throughout the whole story and I was here for it!
We follow Adina who wants nothing more to go to Yale, but an event happens which puts this dream into jeopardy. She is invited to something called The Finish which could change her whole life if she is to win.
The book covers topics such as racism, social class and hierarchy but it is done in a way which makes you think “wow people still treat people like this!”
I was rooting for Adina the whole way through this book just to prove that because she’s black doesn’t mean you shouldn’t count her out of anything.
Intense, edge of your seat reading. Absolutely loved it!
