This book got so dark so fast. I didn’t expect to get this shaken up by it.
It starts out all typical highschool-ly but diverts into an evil gossip school in no time.
It was fascinating watching the two main characters trying to cope with all the secrets that come out. They come from very different backgrounds and handle the whole Situation very differently.
I had to shut my copy of the book multiple times because I couldn’t handle some characters actions anymore. It stressed me out so much. All the twists and secrets that are uncovered are mind blowing.
This book is amazing. I can’t recommend it enough. But please beware of the trigger and content warnings!
