Serious trigger warnings for the gaslighting and demonization of mental illness.
It was slow and kind of boring at first, then it picked up in both the plot and the gaslighting. Really hated it by the end. It's kind of similar to Plain Bad Heroines, but without the cool lesbian auntie characters and with a bunch of edgy high schoolers trying to reenact a spooky scene from a book while ruining people's lives.
Half a star for the sapphics, I guess. The characters still suck, sapphic or not.
