The Fortunate Ones by Ed Tarkington
DID NOT FINISH: 13%

DNF @ Chapter 4

Thanks to Algonquin for this copy. I wish I couldn’t completed it.

If I’m being honest, I feel duped into reading this. People I trusted said this was dark academia but no one mentioned that it centered around one guy that eventually joined the army and one that became a Republican senator. 

Nothing was drawing me into keep going with the story. Maybe it got better, but reading about a kid joining a boarding school as a freshman holds zero interest to me.
