This is a absolute CHONKER of a YA at a startling almost 600 pages so when this one arrived I was shocked to say the least 😅 I haven’t read a ya in a long time so it being so large concerned me, but the dark academia and mystery vibes gave me hope that I’d still enjoy it and I really did. I really enjoyed the twists and turns and found myself surprised by the characters at times. There was a chunk of the middle of the book where it felt a little like there was no progress was being made but if you push through that then it picks up after. Also the representation in this is absolutely lovely and so well done absolute chefs 💋 overall a great ya read!
