NB Personally disagreed with 90% of the protagonists’ thoughts & actions + her critiques of feminism, consent & cancel culture in a post me too era - but worth reading.

- Impeccable character development
- The pacing matched the weird twists the story took so every choice the characters made was contextualized and made sense
- Definitely a unique take on a college drama
- Some of the more minor characters were caricatures
- I was a bit confused about whether Jonas was critiquing rampant sexual harassment in academia or claiming the reaction to it was disproportionate. Maybe a little of both?
