Edited after reread:
One of the best thriller novels I have ever read. I would recommend to anyone (after checking the trigger warnings-since themes are extremely dark/graphic). With the rise in popularity of dark academia novels, this book is beyond important in highlighting the discrimination in higher institutes of learning.
