I genuinely got so sucked in to this book. I thought each character seemed very realistic, and the writing was great; though there were definitely some words I could tell the author liked, lol. I didn't see coming what the premise of the school was, and I am so glad that was revealed in a timely enough manor where we could get some resolution - I feel like a lot if books I read lately are 300 pages of build up with 50 pages of plot/climax. I've already been recommending this book to friends. Great read!

Enjoyed the plot, setting and most of the characters but was sometimes annoyed by the main character.
