I liked the idea of a slow thriller, but this felt extremely streched out.
The writing style is good and the side plot of the podcast classes was very interesting, it's a shame that after the middle part the plot drops and there's no intrigue whatsoever (at least for me).
It also felt unrelatable at times, how is someone going to remember the exact details of what happened 20 years ago??

Thank you so much to NetGalley and the publisher for a proof copy of this book!
This was everything I needed to get me out of a stress induced reading rut. Really pacey, gripping and intelligent, dark but socially aware - think My Dark Vanessa with a true crime element. The writing was great and really funny, the characters were interesting and believable. I really loved the element of an elitist boarding school which played into issues of class and race as well as being a really fun setting for the plot.
The only thing is that the ending fell slightly flat for me - I really had no idea what was going to happen right up until the end and it wasn’t quite right in my opinion. But that being said, I loved everything right up until the final 5%!
Would still really recommend if you’re looking for something to get you hooked!

Although some of the writing meandered at certain points, it definitely was incredibly riveting and I was on the edge of my seat. I will say the audiobook version is much more engaging than the kindle version, especially since this was written almost podcast style
