4.0

 If you're looking for a thriller with a dark academia setting look no further! For Your Own Good was a very fun and quick read. I enjoyed the different POVs and I loved the short chapters. The plot and pacing were very well done and I had a great time trying to piece everything together. There were so many twists it kept me engaged the whole time and I couldn't say whodunit! The ending felt a little too rushed for me but I very much enjoyed the epilogue. I definitely recommend if you haven't read it already (especially paired with a glass of milk)!

Another stellar thriller from Samantha Downing. I'll read anything she writes at this point, I think.

Delve into a seemingly normal private school as one event unravels into a collision of past and present as you spiral speeding towards a conclusion that seems equally impossible and inevitable. 4/5
