If more time was spent with each character it would have felt more complete

Too slow, hard to get invested with what was going on.

A really interesting take on sexual assault and changing ideas in the world. I love the boarding school setting and how each chapter focused on a different girl, however, I had a hard time keeping track of everyone and could barely remember who the character was by the time I got to the reveal at the end. 

I think this will be a great read for those who like a slow burn, but that's not always my cup of tea. 

Thanks to Macmillan and Edelweiss for a free copy in exchange for an honest review.
