From a brief glimpse at the description and the cover art, I knew I was going to love this book - and I'm so happy I was right. I listened to the audiobook, and I could not put it down.

This book has so many elements I love - boarding school, complex queer characters, mysterious deaths - and it was all woven together well.

Kade was one of my favorite characters, and I love how his storyline incorporated him being transgender and his experiences directly related to that - but he is a well-developed character and there is so much more to him than his being trans. Beyond that, the main character, Nancy, is canonically asexual - which is incredible! Seldom is there any ace / aro representation in media of any sort, so it was fantastic to have that in this book.


Cannot wait to read the rest of the series, and to read more from this author as a whole.
