Give me dark, tragic, gay academia and I’ll give anything 5 stars. The ending. I don’t know how to feel 😭 also making Fillipa date the Professor was so random and unnecessary.

pomijając ze postacie miały jedną cechę osobowości a zwłaszcza na początku to cała reszta super. przez większość książki byłam zirytowana ze nie wiem o co chodzi, ale myśle że to było założenie tej książki i bardzo mi sie podoba ze zakończenie jest otwarte i mogę żyć w delulu ze wszystko się im tam potem jakoś ułożyło 🤠

Predictable at times but the epilogue crushed me. I lost a dear friend unexpectedly yesterday, and it reminded me of her.
