This is a sapphic romance with dark academia aspects. But more than that, I found it to be a book about four traumatized women. Some who cause damage and meet their end. Some who cause damage and heal. All of whom I found to be well rounded, well thought out, and compelling. I think people will find themselves drawn to each of these women, to their strengths and follies, to their hurts and their breakthroughs. This book is enjoyable, and one that will sit with you for a minute after you read it.
