I recommend this book if you like:

-YA college/uni

-Sherlock Holmes stories and similar vibes

-no romance

I have wanted to read this book for about 3 years. I definitely would have preferred if the book had a romantic element. The mystery was good but I couldn't warm to Charlotte and her emo, druggie demeanour. The story was a bit complex and left chunks of information out. When the mystery was revealed it wasn't as satisfying as I thought it would be.

The murderer was the school nurse who was a fiance to the guy Charlotte had got in to trouble. The fiance thinks he's dead but he isn't.

I read this book in a day, and I’m a very slow reader. I’m a huge Sherlock fan and I’m very nitpicky about recreations and reimaginings but I loved this one so so so much. 

ALSO HOLMES AND WATSON ARE SO ADORABLE TOGETHER IM MELTING IT’S SO CUTE <spoiler/>

ergaich's review against another edition

1.0

This book included entirely unnecessary plots of rape and perpetuated rape culture and victim blaming. 

This book could have been a really fun read, but every time I found myself starting to enjoy it again, something disturbing would happen.  <spolier> The entire plot point of Charlotte falling in love with a grown man and getting so angry that he would not love her back that she FRAMED HIM is exactly what fuels the idea that young girls are crazy and “asking for it.” And to have Briony orchestrate Charlottes rape was absolutely unnecessary and straight up disturbing.</spolier> The book would have been complete and good without those two points so I fail to see how they compel the story. 

I would heavily NOT recommend this to any self respecting feminist.
