Solid read. Enjoyed it! There were few things that bothered me, like the way grief was manipulated, but otherwise it was good.

I just finished it a few minutes ago and that was….. what a journey. It is definitely for those craving a horror, dark academia, lesbian, boarding school tale. The writing was beautiful to read and the characters were interesting to know. I especially love love loved all the parallels, especially at the end of the book. A great read.
