Something sinister is happening at Caldonbrae Hall: Rose’s predecessor was suddenly dismissed, girls are dying, Rose is being stalked, and there is creepy, controlling, complete misogny.
Outsiders avoid the school at all costs.
Residents think it is normal.
Everyone needs to get their hands on this dark, creepy, infuriating novel. Although this book is strange, uncomfortable and sickeningly creepy, it is completely captivating and it is impossible not to continue reading to uncover the secrets of Caldonbrae Hall. Phoebe Wynne does an incredible job of really setting the scene, drawing the reader into the book and bringing them on the emotional rollercoaster throughout.
Thank you to Phoebe Wynne, NetGalley and Quercus Books for allowing me the opportunity to read this book.
