This book was so good! I loved the dynamic between Alice and Peter. I thought that the analysis of academia and its impact on students as well as society was so interesting, especially as someone with a bachelors but nothing higher. The chapters of dialogue were definitely more interesting to me than the chapters of context and background information, but all of it was well written and thoroughly explained. The plot was well rounded, and I don’t feel like anything was left unanswered that should have been wrapped up.
