As a person who also left her country for another city, this book hit really REALLY close to home. Daphne's inner monologue was very interesting to read and the author has establish herself as one of the authors I'll be looking out for in the future, cause her prose was lovely!

**the only thing that I didn't like was the fact that Daphne didn't have a job and just relied on her parents for money for everything, it just didn't sit right with me and didn't make me relate to her as much as I wanted to.

Even though I started this fully invested in the story, I quickly lost interest. I don't know if it was a point of length, the book being so short that didn't allow us for a more in depth view of the characters or if it just wasn't the story for me.

Was really into the whole 1960s-1970s vibe, but didn't enjoy how everything was so connected, cause even though the plot twists were supposed to shock me, they achieved the opposite.

IN LOVE
what a ride...what a RIDE

Literally just another reason to fangirl over V.E. Schwab cause this book has everything I needed! It was so easy to read, it flowed so nicely and it almost felt cinematic the way she was jumping between timelines, settings, characters! Would love to see that as an animated TV show ✨

Definitely haunting and beautifully written but at the same time, it didn't really hit the mark for me. I don't know what was missing, maybe a more linear storyline, cause it was like seeing glimpses of everyone's life story and although interesting, it didn't really make me feel connected to them or their stories.

I always love going back to this world but this one felt like it was so slow for the longest time and then suddenly everything started happening all at once.
I feel like I didn't enjoy the escape as much as I wanted to, even though Whitehorne Institute was appropriately eerie.

What a magnificent book! The most striking thing about it was the prose and the atmosphere it created, cause the way that story was told was literally spellbinding!
