I am currently experiencing all five stages of grief.
Where do I even begin? This was absolutely phenomenal. I loved it all. The dark academia vibes, the drama, the conflicts, and the characters. The characters were so well-written. The plot was fantastic. I was ADDICTED. I read most of this book in one day, which never happens. I may be going through books like crazy right now, but 60%ish of a book in one day? Next to impossible for me.
I also need to fangirl about the unique formatting of this book. It's written in acts and scenes like a play, but generally formatted as your usual prose novel. I've never seen something like that done before and I loved it so much.
Anyway, this book made me go through all five stages of grief, no less than four emotions at any given time, and it made me want to throw the book and myself at a wall. 5 stars.
