The Lake of Dead Languages by Carol Goodman
3.5
Gotta love some dark academia. The writing was intriguing. I could feel the remote, cold, dark girls school on the upstate NY lake. The descriptions of the lake were so good it seemed alive and a main character.
However, the overall story was average. The mystery was lacking. In perhaps a form of self-preservation, I didn't identify with any of the girls, and I became numb to the soooooo many mentions of suicide. By the end, I was happy to leave that school and the characters behind.
