Vita Nostra is one of the strangest yet most captivating books I’ve ever read. The story intertwines confusion, fear, and love in a way that keeps you hooked. I found myself, like the characters, gradually adjusting to the strange and often terrifying lessons of the mysterious school. It’s a reminder of how humans can adapt to almost anything—even the most bizarre circumstances—which is both fascinating and unsettling.
