This YA dark mystery with a hint of the supernatural, set at an exclusive Swiss boarding school was a lot of fun. There were a few elements of the plot that were derivative, and had me wishing they were a bit more original, but I still found it really easy to get lost in the story. #LGBTQBookBingo #ARedCover #PopSugar2022 #ByALatinXAuthor #Booked2022 #DarkAcademiaNovel @Kenyazero @BarbaraTheBibliophage @Cinfhen @4thhouseontheleft

IndoorDame I think if I went into this thinking I was reading a fairy tale retelling I would have loved it, but maybe that would have given away key points too early to be fun? 2y

This is part feminist exposé, part social history, and part science journalism. If you believe the patriarchy is systemic, here‘s all the ammunition you need to prove it. There‘s just one fundamental principle. Anywhere there was or is inquiry or the gathering of knowledge, women are excluded or diminished. Maddening!

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I‘m glad you liked it, because I‘m reading it in July! 👍 3y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Riveted_Reader_Melissa It‘s eye-opening for sure. Not the best audiobook because the author just doesn‘t have the narration skills that a professional would. She reads it like a college intro level lecture. 3y
Hooked_on_books I agree. I thought this book was really good. And yes, maddening! 3y
