This was a lot darker than I thought it would be, especially for a YA. I also got less of the dark academia and more of the supernatural than I initially expected, but I didn’t mind since the result was a pretty unique story.
I mean, veering into cosmic horror at the end of a high school coming out/secret cult/evil ghost/ritual sacrifice/mean girl clique/sapphic love story/I see dead people all in one story? Sure, why the hell not!
