This book is a spectacular read. There’s a little bit of everything for people who are drawn to multiple genres, it’s a real gem.
The story centers around the Archer family who have a daughter, Cadence “Cady”, who is starting as a freshman at Harvard. Her parents are of mixed feelings about this because they lost their son, Cady’s brother, Erik, who was a junior at Harvard, to suicide the prior spring. Little do her parents know but Cady’s real reason for choosing Harvard isn’t the prestige of this school but the chance to retrace her brother’s footsteps to try to figure out why he decided on suicide.
She begins school and very shortly after this, she begins to have experiences that worry her as to the possibility of her following his course. This is a fun campus based novel that delves into mental health issues and how stress of school influences this. It also beautifully addresses the turmoil within a family that comes from the loss of a child.
The whole book was a delight but I especially loved some of the twists and reveals and the finale. The ending few pages of this book are some of the most brilliant writing I’ve read this year.
If you love a school based story with intrigue, family dynamics and supernatural themes, this is a must read for you.
Highly recommend!
