if your dream book is the secret history meets portrait of a thief then you will be as obsessed with this book as i am. with interchanging perspectives that lead you through the many twists & turns, this story entices you from the very beginning with strong themes of betrayal, secrecy & murder. i love how it plays around with the conventions of dark academia, but with an artistic depth that intertwines all the fascinating elements of the story. i read this book so quickly & can honestly say it’s a must read if you’re into books surrounding intellectual ideas with a prominent mysterious tone. i want to say so much about this book but i’m afraid anything can give it all away, it’s a magnetic story that pulls you every which way with a sense of purpose in Lloyd’s writing. if you’re into twists, this is the book for you as the last few pages will have your mouth hanging open as mine did. an absolute must read!!
