"Ohhhh a book about female rage! Sold."
I admire Laura Steven for always teaching her readers something about feminism without being obvious about it. Like, feminism is part of every day life.
This book was interesting, eerie and funny.
The title mismanaged my expectations. I expected the society to be a major part of the story, so I kept waiting for the actual story about the society to begin, and then suddenly it had already almost finished.
So, boys and girls, don't expect this book to be about a society, because it isn't, despite the title.

What an amazing read. I love the underlying sapphic tones with a love that develops as it goes.
Salem although creepy as hell at times is the most iconic animal I’ve ever read in a book - I mean how cool is an immortal cat?
To anyone who like mystery, school settings esp dark academia, plot twists with I guess a hint of a curse even though it’s not quite then this book is for you!
Loved this and truly glad I picked it up.
