i absolutely l o a t h e d the characters. damn near no redeeming qualities for any of them. i only saw people who were immature, whiny, and way too secretive at their big age. Caroline is the only one who had some sense towards the end. and why did this whole group even bother staying friends with Court if she was a major bitch??? 😤
most of the “twists” were not twisting. they fell flat and by the end i didn’t care much about who killed Heather. in fact, i didn’t even really know who Heather was as a character because she wasn’t developed like the rest, yet i’m supposed to care about her death???
i’m giving this book two stars instead of one because of Jessica’s explanation towards the very end. i can honestly say i wasn’t expecting it.
this is also the second book i’ve read and disliked from the same author. maybe Ashley Winstead is just not for me…

Also feel like I was miss sold on this one being dark academia, sure they were at a university but that was merely the setting, not particularly part of the whole vibe.
Also feel like this one needs *all* the trigger warnings
