Tripping Arcadia by Kit Mayquist
4.25
Gave off big Saltburn vibes. I loved the prose, the dreary atmosphere, the irony of being paid to poison the rich.
I do think the pacing is a bit off, and some things are still unclear even after being explained. I also think a lot of characters are underdeveloped, and I would love to know more about Lena’s family life, as we only get bits and pieces that allude to something bigger. I also wish we got more buildup to the endgame relationship, since it felt a bit rushed.
Overall, a delightfully gloomy and chaotic gothic read.
