It's not so much that this book really did anything wrong, more that it just didn't do much at all? It was fine, but I think the people who are likeliest to really enjoy this are those who like books that are weird for the sake of being weird. In terms of things like character development/plot/themes, there's just not much to hold on to.

No Plot. Boring. Definitely not for me. I expected more and didn’t get it. Nothing really happens and I was confused most of the time. The writing wasn’t bad though.

Thank you Netgalley and HarperCollins for this ARC. This book was not something I would normally read but I was looking forward to something different. This was an interesting story about an exclusive school with a dark secret. I expected more of a suspenseful thriller. Unfortunately, I didn’t find it suspenseful and just an ok book. It also read much like a YA novel.

I really enjoyed the beginning of this book, and the author had a very intriguing idea, but it got boring and lost my interest by the second part (year 2) of the book. I did finish the book in hopes it would get exciting, but unfortunately, it didn't.

the only thing this book did for me was the atmosphere. I need to be more selective with dark academia

A reluctant 2.75. Sent me into a reading slump because of a draggggged on middle but the ending was good.
