5.0

This was amazingly eerie and I absolutely devoured it. There's hints of dark academia, female friendships (fucked up friendships at that) and such vivid descriptions of horrible men and sex cults that, for now, I'd rather become a nun than engage in BDSM. The narration was so fascinating, it times it turned into an unreliable narrator and that just added to the creepiness. It took a bit to get to the action but god, it was so worth it and all the back-story gets so important later. Might be my new favourite thriller!

P.S.: Is Jamie one of my top 2023 MMC's even if this isn't a romance? Maybe.
