The dark academia equivalent to the glee club :
• gay nerds
• bullies
• all sleeping with one another
• kind of a cult
• powerful blonde female teacher who has favors their most cruel students
I loved this book. It was so addictive and compelling. I loves the atmosphere and being I oliver's manic head and I am going to miss it. Maybe not the most crazy complex intricate plot but I don't mind. It made it accessible.
Worth the hype
