This book was not what I was expecting going into it. It was interesting and unlike any other book I have read before, however there is a general lack of plot which was offputting to me. The characters are unpredictable, making them more real and intriguing, but if you are not a fan of untrustworthy narrators, this book probably isn't for you! The story's pacing was also somewhat strange and the first part compared to the second part differed greatly in how much character development took place. However, the last 75ish pages made me enjoy this book much more! Also - I have seen this book marketed as dark academia and to me, it was not (definitely more NYC art scene/modern college coming of age).
