ive been wanting to read a little thriller for a while and i also havent read any dark academia novels either so this was kinda perfect i enjoyed it... at first i was a little skeptical cause the prologue started out with the murder and then it went back to way before and i thought id get bored? somehow i didnt tho which was surprising to me
i liked that despite how awful all the characters are i still didn't want them to get caught the whole time i was likeee idc if they go to jail for drunk driving or whatever as long as they dont go to jail for murder. it was weird i think donna tartt managed to make me feel like i was one of them fr like i killed bunny too guys...
there was one thing i didnt like tho sorry im gonna sound like a freak rn but i have to say it.. i didnt like that francis would sleep with his male friends when they were drunk it was kinda predatory and annoying and fed into gay stereotypes it made me do a little side eye...
