That was great!

If Joe from You was a prep school teacher…

The storyline started out so intriguing, and then got boring pretty quickly. The build up was good but the ending was such a let down! Would not recommend this one.
dark tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

honestly some bits doesn't make that much sense and a lot of it felt very convenient but it was so entertaining to read

I love murder mysteries and this one does not disappoint ! It’s like Game of Thrones where main character die and you think wtf...

If you were to just read a summary of the plot, it would not convey how delightful the story is as Downing tells it. It's a thoroughly enjoyable novel of prep shool intrigue with many unlikeable and unpredictable characters.

Such a great thriller! Loved the pacing, the characters were well-written - I devoured this in one sitting

I loved this. So creative.

I'm not sure what the moral of the story is, or if this is actually supposed to be a dark comedy (?) It did made me laugh though, so that's something.
