Unbelievably good. 

I don't state that lightly, this had flaws but none of the flaws could have taken away the rating I gave this. 

Carly, a young woman in her first year away from her abusive father, gets paired into a dorm with a older student; Allison. She's everything Carly wants to be, and Carly is protective. 

Scarlett, a English professor with a hidden motive, she's a murderer. Not just anyone however, men who deserve it. 

I loved the LGBTQAI+ representation, and it wasn't portrayed as taboo like some books do it. The characters were unique, I especially loved Mikayla and Wes, both well written background/side characters with bigger roles near the ending. 

I did not expect that twist half way through and i am honestly so surprised, it's so different.

WOMEN. I. LOVE. WOMEN. especially when they’re murderous. i loved how the main plot twist was revealed halfway through but i was still on the edge of my seat for the last half, and almost MORE SO because of it being revealed so early. 10/10 recommend & i can’t wait to read her other book “temper”!!

The best book I've read all year! I was hooked from the beginning and never knew what would happen next.
I'm so glad there was a happy sapphic ending that we never got in Killing Eve.
