Richard, you bastard.

I was really close to marking this book as a DNF because the Act I of this book was incredibly boring to me until the last two scenes/chapters of it. I hadn't wanted to pick up this book at all until about scene 11-12 of Act I. 

But I am so glad that I pushed through, because from Act II until the end had me hooked. I was feeling all the emotions with this book once things started to pick up more.

This was an incredible read over I got into it. I loved the characters, faults and all. Aside from Richard. I don't think I could ever like him, but I think that's kinda the point, your not meant to like him.

The epilogue of this book got me though. I was close to tears several times throughout this book, but the epilogue was what got me. It's such a bittersweet ending. I'd for sure recommend, but like I said the first act was incredibly boring and difficult to get through for me. But once you get through that the book is great.

The dark academia equivalent to the glee club :
• gay nerds
• bullies
• all sleeping with one another
• kind of a cult
• powerful blonde female teacher who has favors their most cruel students

I loved this book. It was so addictive and compelling. I loves the atmosphere and being I oliver's manic head and I am going to miss it. Maybe not the most crazy complex intricate plot but I don't mind. It made it accessible.
Worth the hype

Heerlijk boek. Zou 5 sterren krijgen als het niet zóveel Shakespear was. Ik vind het heel vet gedaan, maar mijn Engels en kennis van Shakespear is niet goed genoeg om alles écht goed te begrijpen.

Ik houd wel echt van de meta dingetjes, dat de hoofdstukken geschreven zijn als aktes e.d. en ook hoe Shakespear-drama het allemaal is. Super goede en mooie world building en de karakters ook allemaal voldoende uniek om goed te kunnen volgen 😊
