This was a slow burn filled with mostly the MC’s inner dialogue, but it was really good! I was intrigued right from the start as there was a bit of mystery to Sarah’s history and mental health diagnoses. 

I love a good boarding school baddie book, and the bully in this one was AWFUL. Pure evil. 

Lots of drama, scandals, and an unreliable narrator makes for a wild ride. Just don’t go into it thinking it’s a thriller because it’s not super thrilling until the end.
