it was a nice book but I felt like a lot of things were drawn from one of us is lying 

 
em being the protactor was kinda predictable but Louisa being em, it wasn't 

 
overall I just didn't feel really connected to the characters and I REALLY didn't like Peter. Altho I will be intrested to read the whole "secret of the golden trio"

I quite enjoyed this, the relationship dynamics were really good. The dialogues and the ending felt a bit less smooth, overall the plot seemed less consistent towards the end. Still entertaining!

(One thing I found really infuriating: the book shoving the school motto down my throat every few pages - I would definitely have remembered with much, MUCH fewer mentions, too. 🙃)

Great fast paced book, looking at the toxicity within the education system. Fans of Ace of Spades would enjoy this.
