• 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

Ik houd wel echt van de meta dingetjes, dat de hoofdstukken geschreven zijn als aktes e.d. en ook hoe Shakespear-drama het allemaal is. Super goede en mooie world building en de karakters ook allemaal voldoende uniek om goed te kunnen volgen 😊

the plot felt a little predictable at times? but i was reading for the spooky dark academia vibes and not the most complicated murder mystery plot in the whole world. i've heard people say they didn't really love the ending or how open it was, but i liked it and thought it was pretty clear what happened.
anyway what a good spooky read. the vibes were immaculate, the mystery was fun, the characters felt like they had their own personalities and goals. the writing style was really unique, especially in that the dialogue between characters speaking back and forth didn't use dialogue tags but sometimes was just written like a script would be. my favorite line was probably "Me: [sneezes]" lmfao.
