Put this down as one of the weirdest books I’ve ever read. How it started was not remotely how I thought it was going to end. The beginning focused a lot on Agatha and Robin’s relationship, which seemed to signify that there would be character growth between the two. And instead they seemed to slide backwards?
If that’s supposed to be the point of the book it just kinda fell flat because of the ending.
The dynamic between Agatha and Millie as a professor who’s paying her to basically eavesdrop was …. Problematic at worst and just weird at best. Why on earth would it seem appropriate to a professor to stay IN a dorm room? Just seemed weirdly out of character, and Agatha not realizing it was that inappropriate was again, just an odd choice for the book. “But she made the first advance” is a horrific excused and it seems to want the reader to side with Agatha’s actions.
The random sexual bits also just felt odd for the novel. It felt like a bad porno.

This is one of those books that I couldn't put down but that I didn't really like. I just didn't connect with the characters or the story so while I was in to know what happened, in the end I just couldn't give it more than 3 stars. This was a READER problem, I can totally see why people might love this, it was compelling and the storytelling was creative and interesting, I just didn't enjoy it.
I was hoping to give this book a better review. Loved her first book. The beginning was slow with characters that were intentionally shallow. It picked up in being interesting and cringe worthy towards the middle. The ending was just so unrealistic and disappointing. At least I hope it was unrealistic. Agatha’s character just didn’t make sense to me.
