3.0

This was just okay for me. It didn't have as much suspense for me as some of Goodman's other books have had. It's also marketed as dark academia, but it's more just a murder mystery set at a boarding school. At times, even with different narrators, both of the main characters kind of blurred together as well. It's a quick read, though, if you're looking for a quick mystery!
