 Dark academia was a mistake. I know Donna Tartt is pissed off at the monster she's created.

Really like the first story, but from there on it just dragged on with no nuance (all stories seemed the same).

I really enjoyed this collection. I ended up tabbing 7/12 stories as ones I throughly enjoyed, hence the slightly above average rating on this review. I’m excited to read more from the new-to-me authors I discovered here.
