Amazing and insanely enthralling

This dark academic story was certainly atmospheric, with plenty of elite student drama. The story was slow in sections, with some suspension of disbelief necessary. I ‘enjoyed’ (not the best word given the context of this story) the audiobook version, as I likely would not have persisted with the hardcopy book. Many TW for this book!

Winning a scholarship to one the most elite boarding schools in the country fills Rose with such excitement, until she arrives and finds that she does not fit in with this elite world. Growing closer due to their fate as outcasts, Rose develops friendships with the three other scholarship students, ultimately tying her life to theirs.

Whilst this was an entertaining read, there is a lot to take in with and at places it feels like it gets intense for shock factor rather than moving on the plot, which meant I wasn’t always itching to pick it back up. Not one for binge reading, but to pick up, digest and then pick back up again.

Ell Potter’s narration here was fantastic at keeping you on your toes and like you were experiencing these things alongside Rose.

Thank you NetGalley and Harper Collins for an advanced copy of the audiobook.
