Trust Exercise by Susan Choi

WHAT.

I can’t say anything cuz everything would be a spoiler.

This book is good in a thought-provoking, #metoo, literary kind of way. It’s about a group of theatre students at a performing arts school whose larger-than-life, Dead Poet’s Society-style teacher provokes and influences them for the rest of their lives.

I understand the ending but would love to hear if other people understood it the same way I did.

PS the first part of the book is a big turn off and kind of pushes readers away. Keep reading until you reach the second part. The first part is intentionally unrealistic and is not, as I first thought, poor writing on the author’s part. It’s intentional.

PS the audiobook has lots of mispronounced words.
