dark reflective tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

i commend burton on her ability to write realistically pretentious teenagers. i wish it was written in first person; it would've encapsulated that isolated boarding school cult vibe a bit better in my opinion.
