Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to review this book.
Told from the perspectives of three different people, Charlotte, Max, and Quinn, this book is a hard look at privilege and what goes on behind the ivied walls of moneyed academia.
Trigger warnings for sexual assault! Quinn's sexual assault is what the plot of this book hinges on, so if you can't handle that, please don't read this one. It's incredibly hard to read. While the book isn't graphic about it at all, the situation itself is just difficult.
The pacing and characters were well done in this book. Quinn's rage and pain came through almost viscerally, and I wanted so much to sweep her away and protect her. I thought the subject matter was handled with a deft hand and not overdone or used as a way to just make a statement. Quinn was treated like a living, breathing person and not just a character in a book.
