Omg. This was such an interesting thriller, very fast paced. I loved how it was told from different perspectives. The teacher was such a layered, well-written character. Everyone is unhinged. ALL I CAN SAY IS WTF.

This was definitely outside of my usual go-to genres but it was shocking and kind of felt like The Catcher in the Rye if it had murder?? Very fun and scary lol

My only issue was with the multiple retellings. I think three would’ve been enough to bring new dimensions to the story without becoming redundant (as I felt some of the chapters were.)

The writing was not for me. I think it has to do with the translation of the book.

An amazing book about the consequences of one devastating action from several perspectives. The pacing was perfect: slow enough for tension building while also quick enough to not drag. A thrilling read without being truly horrific and scary.

Probably could’ve finished this book in one sitting if I had the time. It was an easy and engaging read and every chapter had a twist. This is darker than what I usually go for but I just found this book so unique. I think there were some parts that felt far fetched so that’s what kept me from giving this a 5.
