This book is by far one of the best books I have ever read. It is officially tied for my favourite book ever (a feat untouchable in over 10 years!) I want to devour every book M. L. Rio ever writes and I hope she never stops writing. 

This book is a masterpiece that had me on the edge of my seat never wanting to stop reading from start to finish.

Beautiful and tragic, moved me to tears. My best read of the year, one of my new favorites of all time.

To quote Hadestown:
“It's a sad song
It's a sad tale, it's a tragedy
It's a sad song
But we sing it anyway”

This is a dark academia book. The dark doesn’t stand for aesthetics, it stands for death, always has. People die, people try and fail to cope with that however they can, *if* they can. Discussions of obsession, grief, and what those will drive people to do are explored in this book.
