However it wasn't well written, I only felt the emotions when I remembered how it looked like in the film.
When I saw Neil smile, I thought that his smile lit up the whole room etc., but in the book it just said he smiled. The chemistry between the characters was missing too.
It should have been way longer, telling us details and everything.
And to add, some if my favourite scenes were missing, like what?

I believe that the storyline really does something that very few pieces that have been solidified in the "dark academia" genre failed to do: critique academia itself. Dark academia asks for you to look at academia as a whole and see the effects it has on its students. The word "dark" refers to more than just dimly-lit rooms and an unclear atmosphere; it refers to the dark effects that the institution of academia has. These effects are seen in the tattered mental health of many of the key characters - particularly Neil Perry and Todd Anderson.
Something that the book unfortunately misses is the little details and context that could be found in the movie. However, I believe the author does well trying to convey most of what the characters did and felt in the book.
