Don't Let the Forest In by C.G. Drews
2.0

Overwrought. I wanted to love this and could have gotten over how dramatic everything was written but our main character is extremely passive, self-hating, and only has one friend. All that coupled with the fact that everyone at the extremely rich school seems to hate him, including the teachers, made it impossible for me to get over the overwrought writing. Additionally, the "plot twist" is identifiable in the first chapter and relies on the fact that no one, not his family or his teachers will just talk to him.
