Solid 4.5 stars for this one! I know this technically falls into contemporary dark romance, but I really got a fantastical vibe from it.  I think it's the slight farfetchedness of a school only for mafia families.  The challenges and the 2 boy 1 girl trio gave off massive Harry Potter vibes.  I couldn't shake it, even the dynamics seemed to work out similarly.

Overall though, I enjoyed the world, the classes, the uniqueness of this book.  I love, love, love best friends to lovers.  I'm excited to read the next from Sophie Lark!

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with a free ARC in exchange for an honest review.
