Pretty slow start, but when it gets going, it gets GOING.

This book started kinda slow for me but one sentence about 70 pages in completely hooked me! After that the pace slowly speeds up and I had a hard time putting it down. The sexual assault scenes in the book are not super long or graphic and did in fact matter to the story, which I appreciated as a survivor. I do not generally read books w SA but based on other reviews I went for it and I’m glad I did. This is dark academia perfection. Can’t wait to start book 2!
