This whole book was meh. I found the characters bland and the plot boring. I expected more from a book so hyped, specially for its characters, than 
rich snobby kids running around getting drunk and high while thinking they’re the smartest people in the room.
I feel like it was way too long. The very little that happens could have happened in 200 pages less. And I was also disappointed the professor wasn’t in it more, just because of the blurb. Don’t go in thinking he appears much because he doesn’t.
