This book is HEAVY on the S.A. triggers so want to get that out first, take care while reading!
With that said, I really enjoyed this one (as much as you can enjoy a book with hella dark themes). I think I actually like it more the Ace of Spades. The narration was fantastic, the mystery in the story had me fully committed, and the character work had me feeling like this was a real school. The dark academia vibes were on point, and I think the heavy topic was cared for well.
