300 pages of filler only for the book to climax and end in the last 20. The ending of this book left me feeling disgusted and betrayed by the author. Setting was cool, dark academia vibes and stuff but again the ending just really pissed me off. Also, Marianna, the main character is literally the most dumb, daft and clueless character I’ve read. This author truly had no idea how to write a woman dealing with creepy men.

Utter utter trash. The main character is just plain stupid. Her decision making is so flawed - it’s ridiculous. The writing is clunky to put it mildly and very difficult to get through. The twist at the end of unbelievable after all we went through. It is just not an enjoyable book. I didn’t even enjoy the journey.
