This book started kinda slow for me but one sentence about 70 pages in completely hooked me! After that the pace slowly speeds up and I had a hard time putting it down. The sexual assault scenes in the book are not super long or graphic and did in fact matter to the story, which I appreciated as a survivor. I do not generally read books w SA but based on other reviews I went for it and I’m glad I did. This is dark academia perfection. Can’t wait to start book 2!
