I mean this is mostly just.... boring. Really it took half the book for the actual plot to kick up. Between the very predictable plot (if you've read the secret history or more or less any dark academia books you'll guess every part of this) and the way the characters talk and the fact that I didn't care about a single one of these characters I just wasn't here for it. It isn't that the characters were unlikable, I can handle unlikable characters, It's that there was almost no substance to any of them. Not a single one has a trait beyond "is a pretentious theater kid who likes to drink" and, for the lead girls "is pretty." It's just.... it's not a good book in my opinion.
