Giving this a 2.5 because it wasn’t BAD I just don’t think it was for me. I enjoyed the premise of the book and was convinced this was going to be an absolute favourite however, it kind of fell flat for me. I felt like there was a really strong idea of what this book wanted to be but the execution landed on too much beautiful writing and not enough substance with too much vagueness? Points for beautifully descriptive writing tho! I did really enjoy the setting and the vibe, the characters were really interesting and I really liked them independently and the flashbacks were super cool. I wish there was more of an explanation to what happened in the book and there was a lot of the time that I spent confused about what was going on, waiting for things to be explained. 

I do recommend this though for anybody who liked Ninth House and that dark academia, school paranormal vibe bc this is exactly that!!
