4.5

I think this book really shines at the end. It follows a group of morally grey, Shakespeare obsessed, out of touch college kids who end up in the middle of a mysterious death. This book does the "are they a good person or bad person?" so well it's kinda freaky. I found the shakespeare quotes in this book highly annoying but that's because i find shakespeare in general...highly boring. If you like reading books that make you slightly nauseous with nerves about the ending you will love this book.
