  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

5.0

This is such a good dark academia book - a bitesize secret history but English. I find the relationships between the characters so fascinating for characters that we don’t actually learn a lot about, and I find the themes of independence, love, manipulation and money really interesting. Love this book.
