dark informative mysterious sad tense medium-paced

I feel like this book cat fished me hahaha like there is really nothing dark academia or gothic or really interesting at all about this book. The characters lack depth, it dragged, and the plot just was a flop

Fell a little short of the mark, in my opinion. Interesting premise, though. Not necessarily a bad book, just not great. Story could have been fleshed out more and given more depth. Especially the romance. Maybe even round down to 2.5 stars.
The twist was surprising, though- I did not see it coming!

There's one too many plots for anything cohesive to form, and for a thriller it's not that thrilling
