❤︎ NETGALLEY REVIEW ❤︎

thank you to netgalley, delacorte press, and laura steven for this arc for free in exchange for an honest review. 

i have never read a retelling of dr. jekyll and mr. hyde. the author did a good job of setting the scene for it though. the pacing was a bit off because some chapters seemed like it was building up to an amazing event but when it actually came it didn’t feel as good as the buildup. however, i liked how she gave a backstory of the school and dove right in to the main characters flaws. overall the book was good, it did take me a little to start reading it and actually get into it. i do recommend if you like quick, dark academia books with some teen drama.
